# Announced! BAAC approves 6 measures to help farmers, paying 1,000 baht per rai

> The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) board approved six programs to support prices of rice, feed corn and longan. They include a 1,000 baht per rai payment to registered rice growers, capped at 10 rai per household, and a 40.9 billion baht loan scheme to delay sales of the 2026/27 main-season paddy, targeting 3 million tonnes. A further 15 billion baht credit line will fund rice collection and value-added processing by farmer institutions.

## Why it matters

Holding paddy off the market and funding collection reduces near-term rice and feed corn supply, which supports Thai domestic prices. The payments also let farmers keep stock longer, so the effect on export prices is likely modest but firmer.
