The Department of Internal Trade says flooding has affected about 9,000 pigs in the eastern farm region, against normal intake of nearly 2 million a month (about 63,000 a day), so supply is judged sufficient. As of 7 October 2026, live pig price averaged 68.30 baht/kg and untrimmed lean pork 132.13 baht/kg, both steady and slightly lower week on week. If you buy pork, no urgent stock-up or price change is indicated. The department will monitor prices and supply; reports of unfair price gouging can go to the hotline 1569, with penalties of up to 7 years' jail and/or a 140,000 baht fine.
