# Thai corn prices surge mid-harvest amid row over import rules

> Feed corn prices in Thailand have risen more than 25% in about a month, with domestic corn delivered to mills up 27% over four weeks of harvest. The increase comes despite falling world corn prices and amid a dispute over the country's strict import rules, which growers want kept, including the 3:1 import rule.

## Why it matters

Unusual domestic strength in Thailand's feed corn tightens local supply for mills and feed makers, and could draw imports if the 3:1 import rule is scrapped. Regional feed costs rise even as world corn prices fall.
