Thailand’s agriculture ministry met with the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council and major U.S. companies to discuss agricultural trade cooperation and innovation. The ministry reiterated that imports of feed corn and soybeans should be timed outside Thailand’s harvest season, and that companies must first buy domestic crops at fair prices to avoid depressing local prices.
The conditions could constrain the timing and availability of imported corn and soybeans, supporting Thai domestic crop prices while potentially limiting feed buyers’ sourcing flexibility. The policy prioritizes local procurement before imports.
After 318 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
After 356 past bullish policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.2% to +2.3%), and -0.9% over 20.
