Malaysia produced 29,920 tonnes of natural rubber in February 2022, down 39% from 49,087 tonnes in January 2022 and 40% lower against the 49,840 tonnes recorded a year earlier.

He said market players also reacted to the lower February rubber output reported by the Statistics Department last Friday and a weaker ringgit against the US dollar.
