Thailand feed-grade cassava and corn cost
Cassava ~THB 2,600/t, Corn ~THB 10,800/t
Thailand feed-grade cassava chip prices ran approximately THB 2,500-2,800 per tonne ex-mill in 2024, while feed-grade yellow corn cleared at roughly THB 10,400-11,200 per tonne per OAE weekly bulletins and TFMA procurement tracking. Cassava prices have softened from the 2022 peak (~THB 3,400 per tonne) on China sago-starch demand normalising; corn firmed on 2023 La Nina drought pressure plus elevated freight from Argentina and Brazil origin. The cassava-corn ratio drives Thai feed formulators' carbohydrate-source switching decisions; cassava commands a ~25-30% energy discount versus corn on a metabolisable-energy basis. Soybean meal protein-source prices ran THB 17,500-19,500 per tonne.

What not to do with it
Ex-mill landed cost. Cassava priced as feed-grade chip, corn as yellow corn no.2 spec. Bulk procurement contracts price 3-5% below the spot benchmark.
