Global corn prices are falling (Chicago market down 3–4% across Sept–Mar contracts), pushing feed corn into Thailand's peak harvest season.

CPF Rayong facility currently buys Grade-1 corn at 10.10 THB/kg (14.5% moisture) and has registered a pre-booking queue system; factories nationwide are instructed to comply with state pricing and quality standards, with ongoing oversight to prevent farmer hardship.
