Thailand: Agronomy Trade Association shreds the request from Livestock Federation, challenges to help buy paddy instead of import

Published Nov 6, 2021

Tridge summary

The Agronomy Trade Association in Thailand is calling on the government to reconsider import duties on raw materials such as soybean meal and DDGS (dried distillers' grains with solubles) corn meal, citing the Livestock Federation's request to eliminate the 3:1 corn purchase measure. The association argues that this measure, designed to promote the use of local raw materials, has had unintended consequences by favoring large conglomerates and disadvantaging small farmers. The situation is worsened by a significant increase in global market prices for corn and wheat, which has led to higher feedstock costs and financial strain for small farmers. The association suggests that the government should instead support Thai business groups in using more domestic raw materials like cassava and paddy rice, and consider income guarantees for maize farmers to help mitigate the challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
