Only locally produced rubber gloves allowed for export, says govt


PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has imposed an immediate restriction requiring all rubber glove exporters licensed by the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) to only export gloves produced by local manufacturers, the Plantation and Commodities Ministry announced on Friday (April 25).

The ministry said the move was made to ensure product quality and the sustainability of Malaysia’s rubber glove industry, while also preventing the country from becoming a trade diversion destination for products from other nations.
