Expana, the world’s largest agrifood market intelligence provider and the parent company of Feedinfo, has just announced the release of the first-ever price forecasts for two critical feed additives: European methionine and vitamin E. 

This milestone marks a significant advancement for stakeholders across the animal nutrition and feed supply chain. With this new forecasting capability, buyers, sellers, and supply chain professionals can now anticipate market shifts, manage risk more effectively, and make more confident commercial decisions in a volatile global landscape. 

Why it matters 

Methionine and vitamin E are vital additives in animal feed, and these markets are often subject to sharp fluctuations driven by global economic, geopolitical and production factors. More recently, U.S. tariffs, anti-dumping investigations and global production challenges have contributed to substantial uncertainty in the market. The industry has had access to historical pricing and market news for a number of years, but no forward-looking forecasts.  

With this launch, Expana is closing that gap. 

Expana has provided critical forecasting data to the agrifood industry for 18 years. Now, with this new addition, we are offering a comprehensive, end-to-end market intelligence toolkit for the feed additives sector. 

“This information is a game changer for buyers and sellers of feed additives,” said Simon Duke, Managing Editor for EMEA, Expana. “We’re incredibly excited to offer this exclusive insight. Prior to this, our customers could see the past and current states of the market. Now, they can get to see where it’s headed, and why.” 

“Forecasting key animal feed ingredients means that their buyers can make smarter decisions on when to buy, how much to buy, and how to forecast overall production costs, right in time for budgeting to begin for next year.”  

How these forecasts are made 

Behind the scenes, Expana’s unique forecasting methodology blends macroeconomic, technical, and fundamental analysis to produce reliable, actionable commodity insights.  

It incorporates global market indicators, supply-demand fundamentals, and price movement signals to deliver a truly integrated forecasting solution that helps businesses confidently navigate risks and seize commercial opportunities. 

Kevin Bull, Senior Forecasting Analyst at Expana, who led the development of the new forecasts, added: “We’ve spent many months building and validating our robust forecasting models. Methionine and vitamin E were selected first, due to their importance and widespread use across the animal nutrition sector, but this is just the beginning. We plan to roll out more forecasts for additional key feed additives in the future.”   

The new forecasts will be available on the Expana platform from September 2025. To learn more and request a demo, visit: https://www.expanamarkets.com/new-feed-additives-forecasts-demo-request-form/.
