Thailand’s commerce minister said prices for several farm products, including rice and feed corn, had improved and the government was seeking to sustain them through the rice harvest. The article also points to E20 and B20 fuel blends as a way to increase demand for palm oil and sugar, while noting that high corn prices reflect import management and feed-supply balance.
Greater biofuel blending can raise demand for palm oil, supporting prices; stronger feed-corn prices can also lift livestock production costs if supplies are tight.
