Thai feed manufacturers are urging the government to ease feed corn and wheat import restrictions as domestic prices rise amid raw material shortages. El Niño-related weather has delayed the corn harvest and new crop arrivals, and only about 150 thousand tons of the 570 thousand ton duty-free US corn quota have been purchased.
The Thai Livestock and Aquaculture Federation has asked the Ministry of Commerce to speed up approval of 2027 feed grain import rules.
Thailand's feed ingredient imports could fall 15-20% in 2026, which weakens import demand for corn and wheat while shortages support domestic prices. If the government loosens quotas, the resulting purchases would support US and other exporter corn and wheat prices.
