RUBBER YARN EXPORT MARKET FROM INDONESIA

The price of world rubber yarn has been increasing in the last few years, but unfortunately this good opportunity has not been used by Indonesia’s rubber yarn producer to boost their exports, which have been fluctuating in the last five years.

In Indonesia, rubber yarn has developed for quite a long time and now there are four producers of the commodity with a total production capacity of 17,208 tons per year. They are PT CILATEXINDO GRAHA ALAM, PT BAKRIE RUBBER INDUSTRY, PT PERKEBUNAN NUSANTARA III, and PT SWASTHI PARAMA MULYA.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) in 2001 the exports stood only at 6,337 tons worth US$9,282 thousand, and in 2002 increased by 5.7% to 6,697 tons, but in 2003 reached only 4,409 tons estimated at US$9,818 thousand. After increasing to 6,576 tons in 2004, the rubber yarn export in 2005 dropped to 5,542 tons worth US$13,971 thousand.

Of the destination of Indonesia’s rubber yarn exports in 2004, the biggest was Hong Kong with 2,987 tons (45.4% from total exports), followed by Turkey (644 tons=9.6%), South Korea (632 tons=9.6%), the United States (622 tons=9.5%), and Thailand (621 tons=9.4%).
