# Thai feed corn prices squeeze mills as buyers seek more time to import

> Severe El Niño conditions have disrupted Thailand’s corn harvest, tightening domestic availability and raising feed-corn prices above the government reference price. Feed users say delayed decisions on 2027 import measures have hindered planning; only 150,000 tonnes of the 570,000-tonne zero-tariff US corn quota were imported in 2026 after prices rose and the quota allocation left limited time to order.

## Why it matters

Tighter local supply and limited, costly imports are increasing feed manufacturers’ raw-material costs and may sustain upward pressure on Thai corn prices. Faster policy clarification or easier import access could improve supply and temper prices.
