Product Description
Study on Industry and Market Prospect of NATURAL RUBBER in Indonesia, Indonesia, with an annual production averaging 3.2 million tons of natural rubber, is the world’s second largest producer of that commodity. The worlds’ largest producer of natural rubber is Thailand, although, Indonesia has the largest rubber plantations, which total 3.7 million hectares or around 1.5 times larger than those of Thailand. The country’s rubber plantations could still be easily expanded by utilizing empty and unproductive lands but suitable for rubber crops, and by replanting or revitalizing abandoned plantations owned by farmers.
Natural rubber is a strategic commodity contributing to Indonesia’s economy. It is a major export commodity with considerable contribution to the country’s export earning. The impact of the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic which began to hit the country early 2020 has put a brake on the country’s economic development in the past three years. The country’s earning from the exports of natural rubber shrank during the troubled years. Economic contraction and slow-down suffered by many rubber consuming countries has caused the decline in the exports of natural rubber from Indonesia.
Low productivity and delay in replanting of rubber plantations makes Indonesia lagging behind Thailand in production. Many of the country’s rubber plantations with rubber trees already exceeding 25 years in age, especially those of farmers, need replanting. The country’s rubber plantations are dominated by those of smallholders. Only a small part belongs to large private plantation and state-owned plantation companies.
