What is the lysine demand situation?
In 2007, the global demand for lysine was around 900,000 to 1 million mtpa, of which the leading-consumer China takes up approximately 25%, i.e. 300,000 mtpa. China’s growth rate stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s level with around 5-10% annually. The growth is mainly driven by a higher standard of living plus rising meat consumption.
