Valine Price Trend

Valine Prices December 2023

The fourth quarter of 2023 proved challenging for the L-Valine market in the United States. Prices showed a mixed trend in October, then began to plummet in November, continuing to decline until late December. Feed grade prices fell sharply due to lower consumption in the feed sector, while food-grade prices rose due to the robust food industry. Distributors and suppliers avoided restocking due to surplus inventories. The quarter-ending price for L-valine feed grade in the USA was 2645 USD/MT, and for food grade, it was 4095 USD/MT.

The final quarter of 2023 was challenging for the valine market in Germany. Demand in the feed sector declined sharply starting in October due to an economic slowdown and changes in livestock feed compositions. Reduced import activities led to an oversupply, exerting downward pressure on prices. Despite this, food-grade valine prices increased due to rising consumption in pharmaceutical applications. By the end of December 2023, L-valine feed grade in Germany was priced at 2715 USD/MT, and food grade at 4165 USD/MT.

Product Description

Valine is one of the twenty amino acids that comprise the core of protein molecules. It is an essential amino acid, hence it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be consumed in the diet. It holds domain in many physiological functions, most importantly in protein synthesis and muscle metabolism. Valine is one of the amino acid molecules from the group of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) including leucine and isoleucine. They make up about one-third of all amino acids in muscle tissue.
Besides its core function, which is protein synthesis, valine is involved in processes of energy production and tissue repair. This serves as a source of energy for prolonged exercise time and when significant metabolic stress is present, gluconeogenesis is utilized in the liver by means of converting it to glucose. Moreover, valine is a necessary amino acid for keeping nitrogen balance maintained and for supporting the proper immune functionality.
Meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes are dietary sources that are rich in this amino acid. Supplementation with valine is also popular for athletes as well as individuals aiming for muscle mass increase, recovery, and overall athletic performance.
