India’s Trade in NR 

• India is a net importer of NR

• The fall in exports is due to reduced production and fall in internationalNR prices

Shift in NR Utilisation in India

• NR consumption in Tyre sector has grown from 48% to 65% between 2001‐02and 2011‐12 due to rapidly growing automobile industry .

• NR consumption in India has increased at 3.2% during 2000‐10

• In Traditional areas

Intensify R&D for new high yieldingclones

Promote Re‐planting

Intensify productivity enhancementdrive

Improve skill levels of tappers

• In non traditional regions within India‐ tap the full potential

Development of high yielding clones which are suitable for high altitudes anddrought resistant

• Contain demand by redesigning rubber products through

Technological innovations

Use of recycled rubber

• Increased imports

Diversify imports to mitigate risks‐Indonesia is emerging as themajor exporter of NR to India with its share rising from 14% in 2005to 48% in 2010 while Malaysia’s share has fallen drastically from 36%to 3 % during the same period

Increasing NR  Availability :  Possible Strategy

Challenges for  Increasing NR  Availability in India 

• In Traditional areas

Growing industrialisation and urbanisation

Stagnating yield

Ageing plantations

Limited land available for expansion

Reducing pool of tappers due to growing / alternate jobopportunities

• New locations within India

Low yield due to climatic conditions

Lack of availability of customised clones

Lack of requisite skill levels of tappers and others engaged inthe sector

12

• Increased imports

China’s share in global NR consumption has increased from 28%in 2007 to 34% in 2010.

China’s NR demand to double in next decade and will account for46% of global demand.

China meets only 20% of its demand of NR domestically and restis met through imports

Challenges for  Increasing NR  Availability in India

13

The Demand – Supply Gap Challenge

• According to E&Y Study (2010),

“ Despite stretching India’s potential to themaximum, India would still need another Kerala innext 15 years”

• India should look for captive plantations opportunitiesoutside the country for ensuring regular and sustainedsupply of NR

14

The Demand – Supply Gap: Potential Outside India 

The potential locations can be Asia,South and Central America and Africa

Currently, South & Central America accountsfor 2% of world NR production. Brazil andGuatemala are the major rubber producers inthe region

• Currently it produces 4.5 lakhtonnes of rubber annually

• Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast,Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Ethiopiaetc have plantations

• Other potential locations includeKenya, Congo, Tanzania

Why Africa for NR?

• Availability of land and favourable agro‐climatic conditions

• Proven higher productivity

• There are some existing rubber plantations which can be tapped.

• Favourable policies of the Governments as they need capital andtechnology

• Rubber is also a priority for many countries in Africa as it providesemployment and livelihood opportunities to large number of people

• Africa is strategically located having access to Europe and Asia

• Africa in addition to being a fall back option for Indian rubber industrymay also provide business opportunities for expanding the businessesoutside India

Advantage India ?

• India has experience in growing rubber in wide ranging agro ecologicalconditions:

• Traditional region close to optimum conditions

• North Eastern region‐ Low temperature, High Altitude, marginalsoils

• Western India – Higher temperature ,drought

• Eastern India‐High temperature, High wind , prolonged drought,lowtemperature

• Dealing with wide range of target group ‐shifting cultivators to highlyeducated small growers to large growers

• Target group specific implementation models

Intensive engagement in Africa

Favourable duty regime for NR imports

Promoting industry in the downstream sector

Private sector being engaged for rubber plantations through various 

incentives

Expansion of area under rubber plantations

02-11-2012

14

Rationale for investment in Plantations in Africa by  Indian Rubber Industry  

• Developing a supplementary supply base for NR

• Unlimited public funds to promote NR as a social developmentactivity unlikely to be made available

• NR plantations itself can be a commercial venture for manufacturingcorporate houses if large tracts of suitable lands at concessional ratesare available –Africa offers this

• Africa is an emerging market‐Offers opportunity to expand productionbase

• Proximity to consuming markets like Europe help exports

• Scope for integrating with Govt of India’s economic engagement policywith Africa

27

Possible Options in Implementation

• The possible Operational Model in Africa may include thefollowing

Contract Farming (including small holders)

Management Contract for existing plantations

Joint Venture (PPP, PPCP etc)

Long term Lease

Way Forward

• Detailed analysis of opportunities in Africa

• Dialogue with respective Governments with possiblemodels of engagement on value chain approach (cultivationto processing)

• Evolve suitable development models

• Identify appropriate funding sources
