# Energy prices push inflation to 45-month high

> Thailand’s consumer price index rose 3.9% year over year in October, its highest reading in 45 months, with fuel prices accounting for 56% of the increase. Flooding temporarily raised vegetable prices, but produce prices were returning to normal by month-end; the government kept its 2026 inflation forecast at 1.8%–2.2%.

## Why it matters

Persistently high energy costs can raise transport and production expenses across the feed supply chain, adding upward pressure to delivered feed costs. The reported flooding-related produce-price effect was temporary and does not indicate a sustained feed-crop supply shock.
