How it reaches your house.
Starting from Jinyu Bio-technology, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Global Bio-Chem Technology Group →Shortage riskL-Lysine (Essential Amino Acid Supplement)
Blocking imports from Global Bio-Chem can make its L-lysine output less available to U.S. buyers; a 9% share and roughly 6-month replacement lag imply a moderate disruption, though substitution is still possible.
80% confidenceHybio Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd →Stands to benefitAmerican workers and businesses
DHS explicitly frames the restriction as protecting American workers and businesses from unfair competition, so they are beneficiaries of the ban.
“...keeping goods tied to forced labor and mass surveillance out of U.S. supply chains, and protecting American workers and businesses from unfair competition”

L-Lysine (Essential Amino Acid Supplement) →Shortage riskChina supplies 73% of the lysine in the graph, so blocking imports from Chinese biotech firms directly constrains that source into the U.S.
87% confidenceDL-Methionine (Essential Amino Acid Supplement) →Prices riseDL-Methionine is a critical feed additive, so a sanction-driven squeeze on supply transmits mainly as higher input costs to animal feed producers.
84% confidenceL-Lysine (Essential Amino Acid Supplement) →Prices riseL-lysine is a critical feed supplement, so a supply squeeze raises feed costs and puts upward pressure on pork prices.
Hop 3
Adisseo →Shortage riskDL-Methionine (Essential Amino Acid Supplement)
The import ban constrains upstream DL-Methionine supply, and Adisseo’s dependency is material given the 27% market share, limited substitutability, and 12-month replacement lead time on this input.
78% confidenceCJ BIO (CJ CheilJedang) →supply upL-Lysine (Essential Amino Acid Supplement)
With Chinese lysine imports blocked, CJ BIO's 18% share of L-Lysine output can absorb displaced demand as a non-Chinese substitute supplier, increasing market supply.
60% confidencePork and pork products →Prices easeHop 4
Soybean Meal (Swine Feed — Primary Protein) →Prices riseSoybean meal is a critical swine-feed protein, so if the upstream lysine shock tightens feed formulation or raises ration costs, pork and pork products face higher input costs.
