China feed additives: Excess supplies weigh down vitamin prices in July

 

Slack demand for animal feeds hampered the sales of feed additives in July.

The vitamin market was mostly weak in the month as feed producers were reluctant to place orders. As supplies of vitamin E from BASF increased steadily, prices tumbled by 23% over the month while buyers, who had stocked sufficient inventories, held back purchases. Compared with a year ago, vitamin E prices were lower by 28%.

Vitamin K3 prices slid 15% with supply exceeding demand substantially. Overcapacity resulted in strong competition, hence dragging the prices of niacin, folic acid, calcium pantothenate, and inositol lower by 10-13%.

Meanwhile, prices of vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, biotin, and choline chloride fell by smaller margins of 1-5%.
