# Farmers struggle as animal feed corn becomes scarce and more expensive every day, pushing up pig-raising costs while pork prices fall

> A pig farmer in Ratchaburi, Thailand, says feed corn is hard to find and rising in price, with corn at 12 baht/kg, up 1.70 baht from last month. Farmers are asking authorities to inspect national corn stocks urgently, and say costs of 80-82 baht/kg exceed pork selling prices of 68-72 baht/kg.

## Why it matters

Corn makes up roughly 30-40% of pig feed rations, so tight domestic supply and higher prices squeeze Thai hog margins and raise feed demand for imports. A rule restricting purchases to unburned corn is also tightening supply.
