Corn traders analyzed that due to the start of the duty-free corn export period to Thailand, domestic corn market trading has become active, and prices are expected to show an upward trend. Currently, corn is mainly transported by sea from Laukkai to Chanthaburi, with the largest export volume. Additionally, there are also exports from some border ports such as Tachileik. A corn trader said, "From the Laukkai direction, each shipment can be about 27,000 tons. On the border port side, it might be around 10,000 tons. The exact figures are only known to the trade sector, and the market may also become active." It is understood that this year, the duty-free corn export period approved by the Thai government is no longer from February 1 to August 31 (7 months), but has been shortened to February 1 to June (5 months). Therefore, it is reported that plans are in place to increase corn exports within the approved duty-free export period. It is expected that this year's corn export volume to Thailand will reach last year's tonnage. A member of the Myanmar Corn Traders Association said, "It is necessary to export as soon as possible within the permitted period. The months of July and August, when exports are not allowed, are the rainy season, and it is not possible to export large quantities of corn anyway. Therefore, shortening the permit period will not have much impact." It is understood that the area planted with corn in Myanmar exceeds 2 million acres, with an annual corn production of over 3 million tons. Domestic consumption is about 1 million tons, with over 2 million tons exported abroad annually. Among the export destinations, the largest volume is exported to Thailand. According to data from the Thai Customs Department, within 2025, Myanmar exported over 1.2 million tons of corn to Thailand, worth 12.117 billion Thai baht. It is understood that within the duty-free export permit period (February to August), an average of 116,822 to 294,243 tons of corn can be exported each month. When exporting corn to Thailand, exporters need to prove that the exported corn comes from production areas or farmlands where no burning took place during the planting period, so a no-burning certificate must be submitted. On February 2, at the Yangon Muang Dragon Commodity Exchange Market, the price of corn per thet (about 1.63 kg) was between 1,460 and 1,480 Myanmar kyats.
