# Rice prices surge, cassava strengthens: have Thai farmers escaped selling at a loss?

> An analysis article reports that Thai farm-gate prices for paddy, cassava, feed corn and palm oil were higher in November 2026 than a year earlier, citing Commerce Ministry data. It lists rice prices rising from 14,735 to 16,100 baht per tonne for Hom Mali and from 8,073 to 12,550 baht per tonne for Pathum Thani. It notes that farmers are now selling above production costs for nearly all crops.

## Why it matters

Higher Thai farm-gate prices lift the cost floor for rice, corn and palm oil exports, which tends to support international offers. Feed buyers should budget for firmer Southeast Asian feed-grain pricing through the season.
