Thailand's corn production forecast for 2024/25 remains unchanged at 5.4 million tonnes, marking a 2% increase from the previous year due to expanded planting areas and higher average yields. This increase is attributed to favorable weather conditions and less drought damage compared to the previous year. However, despite the increase in production, corn imports in the first three months of 2024/25 surged by 83% from the previous year and 85% from the five-year average. This is due to high local demand and duty-free imports from neighboring countries like Myanmar. Despite the increased production, corn prices have fallen by 11% due to increased local production and duty-free imports. The recovery of Thailand's pig and poultry industries has also contributed to increased feed corn demand in the first half of 2024.
