Impetus for rubber suppliers to bounce back even higher 14:00 | 16/02/2021

Nevertheless, to cash in on the recovering carmakers and other industries after the pandemic, as well as compete with regional rivals, local latex gatherers may need to step up their game and apply for official certificates.
Latex extraction has seen labour shortages due to the pandemic, natural disasters, and other events
More than an hourâs drive from Pleiku, the capital of the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai, small roads are running through immense rubber forests. The town of Ia Kha is crowded with more than 8,000 people, but unlike in the past, these people are less occupied with farming than before.

Tokyo – Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd has announced the recent staging of a seminar to help Thai natural rubber farmers improve quality and productivity, the Japanese group announced 25 Dec.
The event, in collaboration with Rubber Authority of Thailand (RAOT), attracted the participation of 50 farmers from the Surat Thani area.
Last January, Yokohama signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with RAOT to cooperate in efforts to provide economic support and improve traceability across the natural rubber supply chain.
Based on the tire and rubber products maker’s ‘procurement policy for sustainable natural rubber’, the seminar is the latest action to support natural rubber farmers under the MOU.
