– Got Your Vitamins?:
Second order effects of this incredible and rapid de-globalisation taking place. Did you know (I didn’t) that China and the EU are about 60/40 for global market share of vitamin E production?
Take a look at this breakdown:
EU has 65% of A, and CN/EU/IN split B3 about equally.
China is dominant in:
- 100% for B7, B12, and B9
- 93% for D3
- 90% for B1 and B6
- 85% for C
- 80% for B5
- 65% for K
- 50% for B2
The reason I found this and what makes it important is because BASF just mentioned they may have to shut their German plant because — deep breath — electricity.
If you’re not aware, BASF is a German multinational chemical company and the largest chemical producer in the world. They produce animal feedstock (food shortages anyone) and vitamins.
