  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TH2022-0017

Russian invasion of Ukraine is expected to significantly affect Thai agriculture. Agricultural production costs are expected to increase 7-13 percent in livestock production and 10-17 percent in field crops due to the surge in prices of feed-quality grains and fertilizers. Feed mills are expected to shift their feed wheat procurement to Australia during the supply disruption in Ukraine in 2022.
