# The State Strengthens Eurolysine's Capital to Secure Europe's Food Sovereignty

> French Industry Minister Sébastien Martin announced during a visit to Eurolysine's Amiens site a partnership between the state and the Avril group to raise the company's capital by €70 million. Avril will fund 55% and the state 45%, to secure the site's future. Eurolysine is Europe's main producer of fermentation-based amino acids for animal feed, including lysine, tryptophan and valine.

## Why it matters

With Eurolysine described as Europe's last remaining capacity for several of these amino acids, the investment supports local lysine supply and reduces reliance on imports, especially Asian producers. Tighter European supply could support lysine prices for feed compounders.
