Summary: Affected by the COVID-19, trade flows have been restricted owing to the traffic control in the most areas of China. Most amino acid enterprises said they have difficulties in delivering goods now. Besides, many amino acid processing enterprises had postponed restarting the work. During the Spring Festival holidays, most amino acid enterprises operated normally, but in the later stage, the operating rate in amino acid industry may decrease.
Outbreak of the Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) before and after the Spring Festival has a certain impact on domestic amino acid market. Production and sale have been negatively affected.
All in all, logistics transportation is still a fundamental problem because the time of epidemic control is uncertain. However, with the implementation of various government policies, the epidemic situation may be alleviated, and then the amino acid market will be better. In addition, the accumulated consumer demand will be "released" in the near future, so the rigid demand for amino acids still exists.
