Flooding in late September is hitting production through supply chains, not just flooded plants. The Thai Chamber of Commerce figures show 1,315 businesses affected across 40 provinces (still being checked for duplicates), and 34 Amata City Chonburi plants reported stopped. Risk is highest for fresh and short-shelf-life food, seasonal canned and frozen goods, and SMEs with limited cash. Advice: map every link from farm to carrier, line up backup suppliers, tell customers early about possible delays and offer revised schedules, and budget extra working capital for longer storage, longer transport and slower payments. Risk may run into early 2027.
