MUMBAI, Oct 14 (Reuters) – India’s natural rubber imports in September dropped 12.6 percent from a year earlier to 41,848 tonnes, while production plunged by a quarter to 60,000 tonnes due to higher rains in key producing regions, the state-run Rubber Board said on Tuesday.
The country’s natural rubber consumption in the month stood at 85,500 tonnes, up 6.1 percent from a year ago, as demand from the auto industry rose.
India imports natural rubber from Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia.
