Nominal farm income gained for two straight months, expanding 6.7% year-on-year in May, and 2.2% in April. The increases bode well as annual farm income contracted for four years, by 10.8% in 2015, 5.8% in 2014, 3% in 2013, and 5.6% in 2012. A dip in rubber prices, early mortality syndrome in shrimp, and drought were attributed for the contractions.
