CONTRARY to what some people believe, natural rubber is not a sunset industry. World demand for natural rubber remains robust, as was strongly reaffirmed at a recent Global Rubber Conference (GRC) in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
Organised by CONFEXHUB, the conference which attracted close to 300 participants from rubber-producing and consuming countries laid bare the reasons why and how natural rubber will remain a major force in the world rubber market. The papers presented covered a range of subjects from the supply-demand situation and price discovery to futures trading, issues on sustainability certification and new exciting applications of this wonder material.
