Twenty livestock and aquaculture associations sent a third letter to Thai Commerce Minister Supajee asking for an urgent meeting of the national corn policy committee. Super El Niño floods have delayed the harvest and damaged some crops, and domestic corn prices have risen nearly 2 baht per kg above the ministry's 9.80 baht benchmark.
Imports in 2026 fell 15-20%, with only 150,000 tonnes of the 570,000-tonne US zero-tariff quota used.
