The sharp rise in natural rubber prices by 35-40 per cent amid geopolitical tensions and war-related uncertainty has placed severe strain on MSMEs in the rubber sector, All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA) has said.

The association’s president Anay Gupta said that small manufacturers are grappling with escalating raw material costs, shrinking profit margins, delayed payments and rising freight charges.与大公司不同,中小微企业无法维持大量库存或吸收突然的价格波动。

古普塔警告说,印度橡胶工业的供需缺口正在扩大。 While annual domestic consumption of natural rubber stands at around 1.4 million tonnes, local production remains significantly lower, forcing greater reliance on imports.全球供应中断、运输瓶颈和地缘政治不稳定进一步加剧了价格波动和供应不确定性。

At the same time, demand from electric vehicles, infrastructure, healthcare and industrial manufacturing sectors continues to expand rapidly. To reduce long-term dependence on imports, India has begun extending rubber plantation activities beyond traditional cultivation centres in Kerala to non-traditional regions such as Tripura and other northeastern States, he said.

气候相关风险

气候相关风险也逐渐成为该行业的主要关注点。 Excessive rainfall, floods, heat stress and erratic weather patterns are affecting plantation productivity, particularly in Kerala where rubber cultivation is heavily concentrated. Diversification of plantations into non-traditional regions, along with climate-resilient farming, modern irrigation systems and technology-driven cultivation practices, may become essential for the sector in the coming years, Gupta said.
