Meat consumption drives demand for animal protein

Bluestar Adisseo Company, one of world's largest producers of animal nutrition products, announced the development of methionine in powder form. The product meets the growing need for animal protein that is driven by fast-growing demand for meat in China.

Jean-Marc Dublanc, CEO of Bluestar Adisseo Company, said that the fast-growing market demand for safe and nutritious food plus the fluctuating prices of animal feed products, including wheat and corn, are requiring animal nutrition solution providers to offer products with higher efficiency, safety and quality.

Adisseo is the world's second largest provider of methionine, with a market share of 27 percent. The company went public in Shanghai in 2015, the first European company to be listed on the A-share market. Its plant in Nanjing, in East China's Jiangsu province, is one of the group's largest facilities globally. About 46 percent of products produced in the plant are exported to other countries.
