# BAAC Approves Six Measures to Support Crop Prices, Providing 1,000 Baht per Rai to Rice Farmers

> The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) approved six government-backed projects to stabilize prices of rice, feed corn and longan, following a cabinet resolution of November 10, 2026. Measures include 1,000 baht per rai, up to 10 rai, for 4.74 million rice-growing households, and a 40,928 million baht loan scheme that lets farmers and cooperatives delay paddy sales, with government-paid interest and storage support.

## Why it matters

Delayed paddy sales reduce near-term rice marketing pressure and support farm-gate prices, while support for feed corn helps firm domestic prices. The scheme signals government backing for price floors in Thailand's rice and corn markets.
