Summary · why it matters

The Department of Internal Trade met with the Swine Raisers Association, broiler and layer associations, and major operators on 20 August 2026 to monitor price conditions and manage supply balance. It said consumption demand has continued to rise under the Thai Helps Thai Plus programme, causing farm-gate prices to adjust in line with market mechanisms. Mr. Sitthiphan Thanakiatphinyo, president of the National Swine Raisers Association, said live hog farm-gate prices are at 72 to 74 baht per kilogramme, 1 to 2 baht above cost, and may edge up slightly over the next one to two weeks before stabilising until mid-September. Kasikorn Securities assessed that farm-gate pork prices are likely to rise by 2 baht per kilogramme because output has fallen as pigs grow more slowly and face higher illness risk during the rainy season, which is positive for CPF, BTG and TFG if feed costs do not increase.
