2024 Q4: Current Amino Acids Shortage

We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that our team had previously forecasted the current shortage of amino acids, with a particular emphasis on threonine. 

As early as July, we highlighted the potential challenges that would arise in the supply chain and strongly recommended locking in your supply while the situation was still manageable. At that time, we were offering threonine at a rate around $0.90/lbs.

We take pride in our industry expertise and our ability to anticipate market shifts well in advance, allowing us to provide you with timely and valuable advice. 

We are committed to ensuring that our customers have access to the insights they need to make informed decisions about their supply chains. Our recommendation to secure your amino acid requirements earlier was based on extensive market analysis, and we are pleased to have been able to offer proactive solutions that could have helped mitigate the impact of the current shortages.

We are now recommending our clients to consider Q1 earlier this year which is typically a busy season given the global shipping capacity would be halved due to various holidays.

By acting early, you can mitigate potential disruptions to your supply chain and ensure that your business continues to operate smoothly during this peak season. We recommend reviewing your inventory needs and demand forecasts now, so that we can assist you in developing a strategic plan to navigate these capacity constraints effectively.
