The Thai Field Crop Trade Association says it will accept early corn imports from Myanmar and Laos to ease domestic prices, but it firmly opposes scrapping the 3:1 rule requiring domestic corn purchases of three parts for every one part of wheat imported. Farm-gate corn prices have reached 12.50-14 baht per kg amid competitive buying by large feed mills, and the association threatens to mobilize farmers to petition the Commerce Ministry if the rule is cancelled.
Earlier duty-free neighbor corn imports would add supply to Thailand's feed-corn market and could cap domestic prices, while retention of the 3:1 rule keeps local demand firm for domestic corn and supports feed input costs.
