In the first 9 months of 2024, rubber exports reached about 1.37 million tons, worth 2.18 billion USD, down 2.2% in volume, but up 16.4% in value over the same period in 2023.
In September 2024, domestic rubber latex prices were adjusted to increase sharply following the general trend of the world market. At some rubber companies, the purchase price of raw rubber latex is currently maintained at around 395-435 VND/TSC, an increase of about 29-37 VND/TSC compared to the end of last month.
Of which, Phu Rieng Rubber Company purchased at 395-435 VND/TSC, an increase of 35 VND/TSC compared to the end of last month. Mang Yang Rubber Company quoted a purchase price of 412-417 VND/TSC, an increase of 35-37 VND/TSC compared to the end of last month. Ba Ria Rubber Company purchased at 414-424 VND/TSC, an increase of 29 VND/TSC compared to the end of last month.
In the world market, in September 2024, rubber prices on key Asian exchanges continuously increased and reached new peaks due to support from adverse weather conditions in major production areas, raising concerns about supply shortages.
The recent super typhoon Yagi has severely impacted rubber production in Vietnam, China, Thailand and Malaysia, affecting the supply of raw materials during the peak season. In China, super typhoon Yagi has caused relatively heavy damage to the main rubber production areas of Hainan Island such as Lingao and Chengmai. Hainan Rubber Group announced that about 230,000 hectares of rubber plantations were affected by the typhoon, and the output of dry rubber is expected to decrease by about 18,000 tons.
Although rubber tapping has gradually resumed, rainy weather still affects the release of raw materials, causing output shortages and making it difficult for processing factories to collect raw rubber.
Previously, the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) revised up its forecast for global rubber demand to 15.74 million tonnes; at the same time, it revised down its forecast for global natural rubber supply for the entire year to 14.50 million tonnes. This will cause a global market deficit of up to 1.24 million tonnes of natural rubber this year.
According to the forecast, the demand for rubber purchases will increase in the last period of the year after customers forecast the business situation for the following year. The second half of this year will be the key time to determine rubber price fluctuations in the next 12 months (second half of 2024 - first half of 2025). Therefore, rubber prices are likely to remain high from now until the first half of 2025.
