Natural rubber consumption rises 6.4% in 2017-18

17 May 2018 Evaluate

The consumption of Natural Rubber (NR) increased by 6.4% from 10,44,075 tonnes in 2016-17 to 11,10,660 tonnes in 2017-18. According to provisional estimates, NR production in 2017-18 was 694,000 tonnes, with a 0.4% increase over the previous fiscal. Production of NR had increased by 23% in 2016-17 reaching 691,000 tonnes.

However, production of NR during April-December was below expected levels and recorded an increase of only 4.4% as compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. NR production during January-March 2018 was 10% lower mainly on account of intermittent rains and relatively low rubber prices.

Import of NR had been consistently increasing from 2008-09 to 2017-18 with an exception during 2016-17. Import of NR touched all time high of 469,433 tonnes in 2017-18, an increase by 10.1% as compared to 2016-17 and around 70% was through duty paid channel. Import of NR was unusually higher due to favourable price situation, increase in consumption and less than expected production.
