Thai Ministry of Commerce Reports Stable Agricultural Prices Amid Rising Spring Onion Costs
The Department of Internal Trade reports that major agricultural commodities like rice, corn, and rubber remain stable, while spring onion prices have surged to 160 baht.
According to a report from Prachachat Business, the Thai Department of Internal Trade has released its assessment of agricultural and food prices for early November 2026. The data indicates that key commodities, including rice, animal feed corn, and rubber, are maintaining strong market performance. While the prices of many vegetable varieties have begun to decline as seasonal harvests enter the market, the report highlights a notable exception: spring onions. The price for this specific item has climbed to 160 baht, attributed to ongoing supply constraints affecting certain leafy greens.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, these price fluctuations reflect the broader dynamics of the local agricultural market. While staple goods remain stable, consumers may notice higher costs for specific fresh produce at local markets and grocery stores. It remains to be confirmed how long the elevated price of spring onions will persist and whether other seasonal vegetables will continue their downward price trend as supply increases. The Ministry continues to monitor these market conditions to ensure price transparency for the public.
