Thai Feed Mill Association sends a signal to consumers to prepare to pay more The reason that animal feed tends to move prices again The reason for raw materials is likely to be more expensive due to both drought and the Black Sea problem. Requested that the government prepare to cancel the import control of wheat. soybean meal tax reduction
Mr. Pornsin Patcharintanakul The president of the Thai Feed Producers Association said that the trend of animal feed prices will move up further. but can’t estimate how much it will increase and will have implications for the entire supply chain. Both animal husbandry and consumers, with the factor that prices will move up from both drought problems El Niño that will drag on until next year And most recently, Russia canceled its maritime security guarantees in the Black Sea. After the end of the agreement on the export of grain from Ukraine via the Black Sea route on Monday (July 17), the transshipment of goods from Ukraine occurred. which is the world’s main grain producer, is not at high risk It is dangerous for consumers around the world.
In 2022, animal feed operators were affected mainly until an agreement between the United Nations and Turkey acted as an intermediary to help negotiate with Russia. As a result, the price of grain from the very high has moved down somewhat. This time, I’m afraid there will be another problem. Last year, the animal feed group took an approach to switch from wheat to corn. But it was affected by insufficient domestic corn. There was a shortage of 3 million tons. It had to be imported from neighbors. In addition, herders were affected by the 3:1 aid measures (buying 3 parts of domestic corn, 1 part of importing wheat), despite the price of maize rising to 11-13 baht per kg, higher than the insurance price of the region. The state at 8.50 baht per kg. When this is the case, the state does not have to pay insurance. and should consider canceling the 3:1 measure
As for soybean meal, another important raw material, import duties are also imposed at 2% to help soybean oil mills in the country benefit from selling high-priced soybean meal to animal feed mills. These measures should be repealed. because the state gets a few baht in taxes But it makes animal food expensive. Currently, Thailand produces 20,000 tons of soybeans and imports waste. and soybean pellets totaling 5 million tons per year
“Expensive chicken eggs complain that animal feed is more expensive. I want the government to control animal feed The government controls the price of animal feed. Until many entrepreneurs can’t live, so I want to call on the new government to look at the whole system. and prepare to solve problems because domestic production will decrease due to drought And the more the Black Sea has such a problem. Rising raw material prices Animal feed must definitely adjust the price, ”said Mr. Pornsil.
The Egg Board of Chicken and Product Development Policy (Egg Board) is preparing to propose the government to reduce the tax on yellow soybean meal to 0% as well in order to alleviate the impact of the high cost of animal feed that causes chicken eggs to move up to new highs all the time.
For maize in 2021, the average is 10.05 baht per kg, in 2022 the average is 12.34 baht per kg, wheat in 2021 is an average of 8.94 baht per kg, and in 2022 the average is 14.17 baht per kg.
