PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s resilient rubber industry is set to have a record year, with exports of the commodity exceeding the RM20bil target for this year.

Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong expressed confidence the target would be surpassed because rubber exports up to July, which totalled RM19.1bil, amounted to a 38.53% increase compared to the same period last year.
