The National Swine Raisers Association of Thailand has explained the mystery behind the cheap smuggled pork from Brazil to the Minister of Commerce, Pichai Naripthaphan, by pointing out the significant cost of animal feed ingredients in Brazil compared to Thailand. Thailand's high cost of animal feed, largely due to high prices of protein plant group and corn, makes pork production expensive, and farmers are calling for policy adjustments. Small-scale farmers are contemplating legal action against the government for corruption and high corn prices, unchanged for seven years. Proposals have been made to lower production costs by adjusting the animal feed policy, potentially allowing Thai pork to compete with Brazilian pork and reducing living costs for the public. The association argues that a shift in the government's approach could lead to economic growth through pork exportation.
