The Public Warehouse Organization has canceled the announcement on guidelines for importing animal feed corn from neighboring countries, totaling 600,000 tons, according to the Director-General of the Department of Internal Trade, Mr. Wittayakorn Maneenetr. He stated that currently, no imports are permitted under this announcement, as the flood situation in the northern region has eased and domestic production is sufficient to meet demand. Meanwhile, the import of 120,000 tons of corn from the United States is not a new quota but falls under the existing framework, subject to the condition of purchasing domestic corn at a ratio of 3 parts domestic to 1 part imported. The Department of Internal Trade has requested importers to delay imports under the WTO quota, originally set at 572,405 tons. This round, 120,000 tons will be delivered by December 2026, with the remaining 452,405 tons postponed to 2027. As for pork and egg prices, they are expected to ease starting October 2026, as production will increase.
Cancellation of 600,000-ton import plan and delay of WTO quota imports reduce supply, but domestic sufficiency and delayed imports may pressure prices.
