The Eurolysine plant in Amiens, Europe's first industrial lysine producer by fermentation, marked 50 years of operation. Avril and Bpifrance acquired it in 2024 and invested an additional 70 million euros in June 2026.
The site faces competition from Chinese lysine imports, and a European investigation into Chinese trade practices was opened in spring 2026.
Lysine is a key amino acid additive in animal feed, so pressure on EU producers from Chinese imports can shift feed formulation costs and supply availability in Europe. The story is mainly about industrial and trade-policy risk rather than an immediate price move.
