Farm-Gate Pig Prices Increase Across Thailand

On November 9, 2026, a coalition of Thai swine farming associations, including the National Swine Raisers Association, announced a nationwide increase in the farm-gate price of live pigs. The price has risen by 2 baht per kilogram compared to the previous week. According to reports from Khaosod Online, current prices in the eastern region are between 72 and 74 baht per kilogram, while the northeastern region is set at 72 baht per kilogram. The western region's pricing remains pending confirmation. This adjustment is primarily attributed to a significant rise in the cost of commercial animal feed, which has increased by 12 baht per 30-kilogram bag. This surge is linked to a 51% increase in the price of corn at feed mills, which has reached 12.15 baht per kilogram, exceeding previous discussions of 9.80 baht. For residents and visitors, this shift in agricultural pricing may influence food costs in local markets and restaurants. While the immediate price hike is confirmed, the long-term impact on consumer retail prices and the final pricing for the western region remain to be seen as market conditions evolve.
