The rubber prices on the TokyoCommodity Exchange haveplummeted 17% in just threemonths. And the domestic priceof RSS4 grade rubber also fell 6%since 15th January and about 24% fromthe year-ago level.

The main concerns was the forecast ofa rubber supply overhang in internationalmarkets for 2018. But in the last fewweeks, prices of this commodity thatwidely supports the automobile industryas the key input in the manufacture oftyres, succumbed on fears of anintensifying trade war between the USand China.

The contention is China’s position as theworld’s largest producer of automobiletyres and also largest exporter of tyres.

In fact, the US’s position in theinternational markets has weakenedwith tyre exports contracting. Analystsexpect that with China’s retaliation, thescenario may worsen in terms ofincluding a wider range of products.

If there is any cutback in USimports due to unviable dutystructures is bound to puncturethe revenue and profits of Chinesetyre firms. Further, the Chinese

industry is already suffering from lowerproduction due to environmentalrestrictions and a slowdown in domesticautomobile growth rates. Therefore, thespeculation and fall in rubber price futuresis not surprising.

The trade tensions have come at a timewhen the international markets hadalready estimated a supply glut in rubberduring the year. In fact, spiralling rubberprices had started cooling off sinceOctober in international markets. Fallingrubber prices go well for the tyre industry,where rubber comprises about two-thirdsof the total cost of production, which could

India’s natural rubber productiondeclined by 16% to 52,000 tonnes inFebruary 2018, as against 62,000tonnes in February 2017. The tyreindustry said a lean production periodhad already started, to last till September.This will a dd to the industry’s problems.The tyre industry has urged thegovernment to relax import curbs. Theywant duty-free import, equivalent to theprojected domestic deficit.

The industry has put in significantproduction capacities to meet growingdemand from the automobile industryand the transportation and miningsectors. Domestic availability is in shortsupply despite average domestic naturalrubber prices ruling 11% higher thaninternational prices during the year.

The tyre industry has been passingthrough a challenging phase as far asraw material availability is concerned.However, production planning isundermined as domestic availability ofnatural rubber is in short supply. Asmuch as 35% of the requirement needsto be imported. The industry also wantsremoval of restrictions to import only atChennai and Jawaharlal Nehru PortTerminal (Navi Mumbai), said Rajiv

Budhraja, director general of AutomotiveTyre Manufacturers Association.

Indian natural rubber production is likelyto be 1 lakh tonnes short of the RubberBoard projected figure of 8 lakh tonnesfor 2017-18 even as the consumption isset to reach a new peak.

For 11 months to February 2018, theproduction clocked 6.49 lakh tonnes, just2% increase, when compared to sameperiod of previous year. At the same timethe consumption for the period hasalready crossed 1 million tonnes at1,003,060 tonnes. In 2016-17 the outputstood at 6.91 lakh tonnes and theconsumption at 1,044,075 tonnes.

There is not much interest in tapping withthe prices remaining in the lower range.With a fall in production, the deficit haswidened to almost 4 lakh tonnes which isbeing met through imports. The import hasbeen increasing in the last three years intandem with the decline in production. Thehighest import at 458,374 tonneshappened in 2015-16 when the outputplunged to 5.62 lakh tonnes, the lowest inthe recent times. This fiscal, till February,the imports are up by nearly 5% at 418,944tonnes from a year ago. The lower

international price has led to more importsby the consuming industry despite animport duty of 27.5%. It is expected toreach near 4.50 lakh tonnes for the year.

If the prices continue to remain low, thenin future the dependency on import maygo up to 60 or 70%, said leading rubbermerchant N Radhakrishnan.

Though it is lean season now, we expectthe prices to remain in the range of ̀ .120-125 per kg as the demand is sluggish,said G P Goyal, president of CochinRubber Merchants Association.

Can a common quality standard beprescribed for something that isunprocessed, contaminated with dirt,soot and other foreign materials? Can aquality standard be defined for a materialthat is unhygienic, and whose importswere once prohibited as a phytosanitarymeasure? Common sense says youcan’t, but strange as it may seem, theBureau of Indian Standards (BIS) islooking at the possibility! The BIS hasconvened a meeting in New Delhi toprescribe a common quality standard toevolve standards for raw cup lumps - theresidual lump formed from natural latexthat coagulates in the cup after tappingis over.

The cup lumps or the coagulated naturallatex is a raw material to maketechnically specified rubber (TSR) orblock rubber, which is one of the gradesof rubber used by the industry. The TSRproduced by processing these cuplumps has clear standards and is gradedand marketed accordingly.

Raw cup lumps are unprocessed naturalraw material collected from rubber treepost tapping and suffer from wide naturalheterogeneities and it is not possible toevolve a standard nor any standards areavailable worldwide. This work was takenup earlier by the Rubber Board and BIS,and was dropped as it was not possibleto frame a common standard, saidJacob Mathew, former joint director ofthe Rubber Board, and an internationalconsultant on natural rubber.

The Association of Latex Processors(Kerala) vice-chairman SanthoshKumar said the cup lumps areproduced by growers in African andSouth East Asian countries afterleaving the latex tapped in the cupsfor two-three days to oxidase andcoagulate into lumps. These lumps are

very often heavily contaminated withvarying degrees of moisture and dirt andoften harbour microbes and disease-containing organisms, which are a threatunder the phytosanitary code. Theunregulated import of raw cup lumps posesa threat not only to rubber cultivation inthe country but also to other crops grownin the region. There are 1.3 million farmerswith very low holding size of 0.6 hectares

of land and it is impossible to test andascertain the technical parameters of theproduct at the farmers’ premises. Asimports is to take place, there has to bestandards and thus one section of theindustry that is thriving on imports ofrubber is prevailing on the PMO to directthe BIS to make standards so that theseproducts can be imported as per theprevailing laws on import.

THE RUBBER AND CHEMICALMERCHANTS [email protected] www.rcma.org.in

EvEvEvEvEverererereryyyyyone is bone is bone is bone is bone is bullishullishullishullishullishTyre sector has been sailing fast and steady for many years. Manystocks from tyre sector have swelled in thousand percentage pointsover this period. And irrespective of what the outlook for the broadermarket is, there would be very few who are not bullish on these stocks.

The rapid motorisation, soft raw material prices including natural rubber aswell chemicals, imposition of anti-dumping duty and strong demand arebehind the success story of tyre majors. Tyre industry is a proxy for autodemand, which in turn is direct beneficiary of economic growth. Tyre stockshad seen double booster over the years with rising auto sales as well as softrubber raw material prices. In addition to this, Chinese imports have becomemuch less compared with earlier. This is a win-win situation for tyre sector.

Things are looking favourable for tyre industry in terms of demand fromoriginal equipment makers (OEM) as well as replacement demand for tyresfrom commercial vehicles is also going to pick up soon. Fall in Chinese importsand shift to organised players from unorganised after the implementation of thegoods and services tax (GST) are also positive for the industry.

Not every auto ancillary will be disrupted with the entry of electricvehicles, but tyres will remain the necessity.

The ‘tit-for-tat’ protectionismmeasures announced by Chinaand US are fuelling fears of aprotracted trade war, which wouldbe bad news for Singapore’s small,open economy.

A spokesman from Singapore’sMinistry of Trade and Industry (MTI) saidthe government is monitoringdevelopments and noted that China andthe US are major economic partners formany countries, including Singapore. Anescalating cycle of expanding tariffmeasures will have a negative impact oninternational supply chains and tradeand global growth.

The Singapore Business Federation(SBF) chief executive Ho Meng Kit isurging companies facing difficulties withthe US-China trade disputes to contact

the federation. At times like these whentrade policies are uncertain, it is veryimportant for our companies to know howto use our free trade agreement networkto provide them with better stability andpredictability. There is a silver lining,some trade diversion could occur, with

importers from the US and Chinalooking to suppliers elsewhere.

If the tariff measures areimplemented to the letter, regionalexporters, particularly in Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand, would bewell placed to benefit from the

displacement of demand for certainproduct categories such as machinery,chemicals, aircraft parts, rubber tyresand medical equipment. However, somesectors will also face disruptions in thesupply chain for intermediate or capitalgoods that are exported directly or viaother countries to China, and eventuallydestined for the US.

The Trump administration took a hit atChina with a proposed list of more than1,300 exports from the country thatwould face a 25% tariff. About US$50

Natural rubberoutput up 14.9%Malaysia’s natural rubber productionincreased by 14.9% in February 2018to 63,246 tonnes from 55,039 tonnes inJanuary 2018. However, on a y-o-ybasis, production decreased by 28.7%,according to Department of Statistics.

Domestic consumption of natural rubbershrinked by 10.5% to 39,586 tonnes,while ntural rubber exports grew by 5.8%to 49,627 tonnes in February comparedwith January. The five main destinationsof natural rubber exports were China,Germany, Iran, Finland and US.

Natural rubber stocks increased by11.4% to 285,616 tonnes at the end ofFebruary 2018.

billion worth of imports from China couldbe affected. Then China struck back withits own list of 106 American goods - alsoworth US$50 billion, which could be

subject to tariffs. The US is allowing 60days for public feedback and has notspecified when the tariffs would take effect,leaving a window open for talks.

The synthetic rubber prices may facemore downward pressure due to fallingnatural rubber price. Trade war betweenthe US and China have further dampenedmarket sentiment and weighed ondemand for commodity.

The prices of styrene butadiene rubber(SBR), polybutadiene rubber (PBR) andacrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) fellbecause of declining feedstock BD.

Spot butadiene (BD) prices in Asia mayfall in the near term because of poordemand from downstream synthetic

rubber market. According to data, theprices have fallen by more than 11%since 9th March, as the downstreamproducers were pressing for lower BDprices. Apart from falling feedstock BDcost, the downstream tyre makers areseeking lower SBR and PBR pricesbecause of cheaper natural rubber.

Trade war, which is not good for business,has really caused a lot of uncertainty. Thebuyers are just holding back theirpurchases due to the uncertain marketoutlook and weak market sentimentamid talk of a trade war.

Aung Naing Oo, secretary of Myanmar InvestmentCommission and director general at the Directorateof Investment and Company Administration, said

Thai investments would grow from this year on,thanks to closer cooperation between the countriesin both public and private sectors. We believe wewill receive much more Thai investments this year,thanks to the efforts by the Royal Thai Embassyand the Thai business community here.

Statistics show the fluctuation, Myanmarreceived $236 million from Thai investments in

2015-16 fiscal year, while it approved only$166 million in 2014-15 fiscal year.

Myanmar has planned to attract more Thaiinvestors by holding business seminars in theneighbouring country. Myanmar is eyeingexpansion of its rubber business and isinterested in increasing its rubber plantationwith Thai technology.

An agreement by Thailand, Indonesiaand Malaysia in late December to reduceexports by 350,000 tonnes expired on31st March 2018. The market concernsthat more supply from the countries, thattogether account for about 70% of globalproduction, will hit the market at a timewhen the demand is weakening and tradetensions between the U.S. and China iscausing uncertainty across markets.

The rubber futures in Tokyo, Shanghaiand Singapore have dropped more than20% over the past year on an uncertainoutlook for consumption. Global naturalrubber production rose by 4.3% duringJanuary-February 2018, outpacing the0.8% increase in demand, according tothe Association of Natural RubberProducing Countries.

Retail auto sales in China fell by 2.4%in February and rubber inventoriesmonitored by the Shanghai FuturesExchange increased, due to strictenvironmental requirements, tyremakers are running at low capacity. Therubber market is also assessing thepossibility that Chinese tyremakers mayget caught in any retaliatory trade tariffsbetween the U.S. and China. The U.S.announced a proposed list of tariffs onChinese-made products that includesnew and retreaded pneumatic and non-radial rubbers tyres used on aircraft. Ifthe U.S slaps tariffs on Chinese tyresthis time too, that would be negative.

Current low prices have discouragedfarmers and workers from tapping,raising concerns about a rubber sheetshortage. Thailand is also seeking tobuoy prices by raising localconsumption. Shipments from Thailandmay decline by 6% this year due toincreasing domestic demand, accordingto the Rubber Authority of Thailand. Thenatural rubber production may rise 8.4%

to 4.8 million tonnes. The surplus couldsee Tokyo futures and Singapore futureprices to decline.

It is predicted that the rubber futures onthe Tokyo Commodity Exchange coulddrop to as low as ¥140 per kg, whileTSR20 futures in Singapore could dropto as low as $1 per kilogram in the nextthree to six months.

Ongoing investment and growth at oneof South Africa’s largest tyre recyclers,is showing that it is possible to shrinkthe ever growing mountain of truck tyresthreatening to become a nationalenvironmental hazard whilst alsocreating a profitable business.

Many believed that recycling of tyres inSouth Africa was not sustainablebecause of limited demand for rubbercrumb and substantial set up costs.Initially, small companies usingantiquated equipment struggled tocompete with imported product that hadbeen subsidised by governments in thecountries of origin. The Mathe Group’sHammarsdale plant proves that recyclingtyres is not only sustainable but couldevolve into a growth industry.

Mathe Group currently consumesbetween 30 to 40 tonnes of used truck

Malaysia is the world’s top supplier ofrubber gloves. Malaysian Rubber GloveManufacturers Association (Margma) ishopeful of achieving more than 10%export growth to RM18 billion (last yearRM16.20 billion) this year, as globaldemand surpasses supply.

In the first two months of the year, wehave shipped out RM2.86 billion worth ofgloves. That is 12% more than last year’sfirst two months of RM2.54 billion, saidMargma president Denis Low Jau Foo.

According to the action plan, Vietnam,Laos and Cambodia will focus onconnecting their institutions and policies,infrastructure, especially transport andelectricity, and human factors involvingcooperation on education, training,healthcare and culture, VietnamesePrime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc toldreporters after the 10th CLV Summit onDevelopment Triangle Area.

The action plan and the 10th CLV SummitJoint Declaration will help boostcomprehensive cooperation among the

three nations, making the CLV anindispensable part of the ASEANCommunity Vision 2025, and strengthenconnectivity among the threeeconomies. Better connectivity will helpenhance the three countries’competitiveness, effectively participatein regional and global value chains andbetter respond to common challenges,the Vietnamese prime minister said.

At the summit, the three primeministers also agreed to graduallyexpand the development of the triangle

area which currently consists of 13border provinces of Cambodia, Laos andVietnam. They also agreed to beef upcooperation to combat cross-bordercrimes, make an overall plan forfostering tourism in the development ofthe triangle area, to perfect a plan ondeveloping the three countries’ rubberindustry, and to bolster cooperation onenvironment protection and naturalresource management. The primeministers of Cambodia, Laos andVietnam (CLV) endorsed an action planto connect CLV economies till 2030.

Thailand is seeking to increase localdemand for natural rubber by providingfinancial support to buyers, as well asencouraging all government agencies touse more of it. All government agencieswill be encouraged to use more of theproduct, particularly in the repair andconstruction of public reservoirs,playgrounds and streets.

The agriculture minister GrisadaBoonrach, who oversees the RubberAuthority of Thailand said thegovernment was trying to attract privatecompanies, in particular small andmedium enterprises, to innovate andinvest in the production of more finishedrubber products, such as condoms,gloves and mattresses, and move onfrom the past focus on exporting it as araw material for use in the tyre industry.

The government would set aside acertain amount of budget to help absorbthe loan burden of SMEs, giving themmore financial liquidity to buy up rubberfrom farmers. Initially, we plan to giveThai SMEs a soft loan or some financialsupport to encourage them to make otherproducts with higher value to helpconsume the rubber supply. That wouldbe better than producing commodity-grade rubber sheets to and export themas raw materials for the tyre industryabroad. The government set a target ofboosting the price to 80 baht per kg bythe end of this year. It has also set aside1.5 billion baht to compensate farmersfor cutting down young rubber trees inorder to reduce supply. The aim is tocut domestic rubber supply by 1 milliontonnes to 3.5 million tonnes this year,from the forecast annual production of4.5 million tonnes. The government isalso seeking to put aside anothertranche of the budget to encouragefarmers to stop tapping rubber trees inorder to cut supply in the short term.

The military government has alreadytaken the aggressive step of removingthe head of the RAOT, Titus Suksaad,using a ‘Section 44’ measure, which

effectively gives the ruling junta the powerto intervene where it sees fit. Hisreplacement is Thanawat Pholwichai,who has been tasked with raising therubber price within the next few months.

Thanawat said the RAOT would beissuing new measures to balance supplyand demand, cutting the fomer andincreasing the latter.

Farmers normally cut down rubber treesafter 25 years, as aging trees stopproducing latex. This scheme aims tocut trees aged between one and 25years. Individual farmers have only beenwilling to cut aging rubber trees, and thisonly in small, scattered areas, meaningthere has so far been very little impacton the price.

This time, we will urge groups of farmersto cut young trees in order to have abigger impact in cutting production andprop up prices. The farmers who joinedthe tree-cutting project would get16,000 baht per rai. We are alsoworking on the details of the plan toencourage farmers to halt tappingrubber trees over the next few monthsto help cut supply, said Grisada.

According to the Vietnamese Ministryof Industry and Trade, China remainedVietnam’s biggest rubber export market,but both the volume and value ofVietnamese rubber shipped to theChinese market declined. Vietnam’sother rubber export markets includedIndia, Malaysia, Germany, South Koreaand the United States.
