Daesang Delays Lysine Production Restart to Early Q3 and Focuses on Arginine

Production of lysine at Daesang’s factoryin Gunsan, South Korea, is not set to resume.

Daesang are planning to produce argininetill the end of June then restarting lysine production. On the other hand,demand is still weak, and it seems unlikely that demand will pick up in theshort term. Therefore, for the time being, they will focus on arginine ratherthan lysine.

At full capacity, the plant can produce10,000 tonnes/month of lysine HCl and 7,000 tonnes/month of liquid lysine.
