# Thailand expands duty-free corn import quota to 1 million tonnes, feed supply may recover

> A USDA FAS report dated 4 September 2026 says Thailand's WTO duty-free corn import quota was expanded to 1 million tonnes, and the AFTA import window was extended. Thai corn imports fell about a third in 2025-2026 due to non-burning certification requirements.

## Why it matters

A larger duty-free quota could lift Thai corn imports in 2026-2027, adding demand for global corn supplies, though the quota does not guarantee full uptake.
