The BAAC Research and Innovation Center has forecasted an increase in the prices of several agricultural products in May 2021, including Hom Mali rice, long-grain sticky rice, maize, and raw sugar, due to various factors such as export prices, production releases, and concerns over global sugar production. On the other hand, the prices of 15% moisture-rich paddy, third grade raw rubber sheets, and cassava are expected to decrease due to factors like increased rice yield, sale of old rubber stock, and closure of cassava yards. The prices of white shrimp and pig are also expected to increase due to less production and easing of import restrictions, respectively. Beef cattle prices may also increase due to continued demand, but the yield may decrease due to epidemic diseases in cattle and buffaloes.
