Egg and pork producers are pushing back against the government's corn price guarantee, arguing it fails to help small-scale farmers who sell at harvest during high-moisture conditions (5-6.50 baht/kg vs. guaranteed 9.80 baht/kg) while buyers later resell at 12-13 baht/kg. Feed costs represent over 60% of egg production expenses. Industry bodies propose shifting subsidies from price guarantees to direct input cost support (fertilizer, seeds, fuel) and reviewing the 3:1 import policy that forces feed mills to buy expensive domestic corn instead of cheaper global supplies, putting Thai livestock producers at a competitive disadvantage versus Malaysia and Vietnam.
