BASF hikes carotenoid prices 12%

BASF has upped the price of its food and feed nature-identical carotenoid formulations suite by around 12% due to increased, “energy and raw material prices, higher logistics costs and negative exchange rate effects.”

The products affected include Lucarotin, Beta-Carotene, Lucantin Red, Lucantin, Yellow and Lucanti CX Forte but not Lucantin Pink (astaxanthin).
