# Animal feed may run short in 2027; fourth letter urges Suphajee to approve import plan

> The Thai Feed Mill Association issued a fourth open letter asking the government to expedite its 2027 import policy for feed corn and wheat under the 3:1 measure. It warned that delayed approval could cause ingredient shortages, disrupt production plans and leave ordered cargoes waiting at ports, with costs reaching one million baht per vessel per day.

## Why it matters

Import-policy uncertainty may prevent feed buyers from arranging cargoes in time, tightening domestic corn and wheat supplies and raising feed costs. The potential shortage supports local prices for both commodities.
