Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 African Natural Rubber Main Distribution and Producing Areas 3.1.1 African Rubber Planting History and Main Producing Countries - Rubber trees were introduced to Africa in the early 20th century. From 2016 - 2023, Africa's rubber production and harvested area increased rapidly due to high prices around 2010 [1][6]. - Cote d'Ivoire is the largest rubber - producing country in Africa. Its rubber production was mainly contributed by industrial plantations initially, and then by rural plantations [11][12]. - Ghana's rubber production in 2023 was 126,400 tons, with a CAGR of +25.07% from 2018 - 2023, ranking second in Africa [16]. - Liberia's rubber industry is foreign - capital - dominated, with a production of 120,300 tons in 2023 [16]. - Nigeria was the largest rubber - producing country in Africa from 1961 - 1966, but its production was surpassed by Cote d'Ivoire later [17]. [6][16][17] 3.1.2 African Producing Areas' Planting Characteristics and Bottlenecks - African rubber producing areas are mainly in West Africa. Climate conditions, low tapping returns leading to labor shortages, and insufficient infrastructure for rubber transportation are the development bottlenecks [18][21]. - Cote d'Ivoire has a tropical rain - forest climate in the south and a tropical savanna climate in the north, with distinct rainy and dry seasons [19]. 3.1.3 How Long Can Cote d'Ivoire's High - Growth Rate of Production Be Maintained? - Due to the lack of key planting area data, it is difficult to directly infer the production capacity trend. Indirect speculation shows that the new planting area in Cote d'Ivoire probably started to decline around 2014, was at a low level from 2016 - 2021, and began to recover in 2022 [25][27]. - It is expected that the inflection point of Cote d'Ivoire's production capacity growth rate will appear before 2030, but the actual decline may occur earlier due to non - standard tapping and other factors [36]. 3.2 African Natural Rubber Export Situation and International Share 3.2.1 African Rubber Export Types and Trade Flows - In 2023, Cote d'Ivoire exported 1,930,400 tons of natural rubber, with a five - year CAGR of +22.95%.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Short - term: RU, NR Neutral with a Bullish Bias [4] - Medium - to - long - term: RU, NR Bearish [4] - Domestic Demand: Neutral [4] - Foreign Supply: Neutral with a Bearish Bias [4] - Social Inventory: Neutral with a Bearish Bias [4] Core Views of the Report - Short - term: Temporary disruptions in rubber tapping do not change the production increase expectation. Supply will return to normal when the weather improves, while demand lacks a core driver, showing a short - term bullish and long - term bearish trend. RU supply is tighter, and light - colored rubber inventory reduction is better than dark - colored rubber, so RU is stronger than NR [4]. - Medium - to - long - term: Tire demand is under pressure. All - steel tires may face a phased drag in the fourth quarter, and semi - steel tires are likely to be weak due to anti - dumping and demand overdraft [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs China's Situation - **Production**: In 2025, from January to July, China's natural rubber production totaled 39.51 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 9.42%. ANRPC expects China's annual production in 2025 to increase by 6% year - on - year, reaching 932,800 tons. The third - quarter typhoon affected Hainan more significantly than Yunnan. With better phenological conditions and new latex production capacity, the output of whole latex and concentrated latex is expected to increase year - on - year [17][24]. - **Import**: From January to July 2025, China's natural rubber imports (HS: 4001) totaled 1.667 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 35.54%. Tax - free imports from some least - developed countries have led to high inventory and slow de - stocking in Yunnan [29][33]. - **Inventory**: De - stocking is slow. If there is no significant de - stocking by the end of September, there may be a risk of re - stocking [35][44]. - **Downstream Demand** - **Gloves and Foam Products**: In the third quarter of 2025, glove factory orders improved in September but were still far from last year's level. Foam factories' production and orders seasonally recovered in the "Golden September" [48][49]. - **Tires** - **Semi - steel Tires**: From January to July 2025, the cumulative production was 456 million pieces, a year - on - year increase of 4.36%. Exports were 1.94 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.59%. Exports to the EU were 533,800 tons, a year - on - year increase of 12.03%. However, over - capacity, inventory accumulation, and anti - dumping measures may lead to weak demand in the fourth quarter [56]. - **All - steel Tires**: From January to August 2025, the cumulative production was 97.81 million pieces, a year - on - year increase of 2.8%. From January to July, exports were 2.79 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.52%. The fourth - quarter demand may be affected by reduced construction starts in the north and the quarterly payment period in the south [64][65]. - **Automobiles**: From January to August 2025, passenger car production and sales increased by 13.6% and 13.8% year - on - year respectively. Policies such as trade - in and exemption of vehicle purchase tax for new energy vehicles before December 31, 2025, support the tire supporting market, but the replacement market may be under pressure [60]. Thailand's Situation - **Production**: From January to July 2025, the cumulative production was 2.3062 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.83%. The opening of the tapping season was postponed to June. In the fourth quarter, normal phenological conditions are expected to yield 1.6058 million tons. In case of extreme climate, the output will be between 1.5242 - 1.5854 million tons. ANRPC expects Thailand's annual production in 2025 to increase by 1.2% year - on - year, reaching 4.8466 million tons [77][83]. - **Export and Policy**: There was a phenomenon of rush - exporting tires in Southeast Asia during the 90 - day buffer period given by the US. Thailand plans to export rubber to China via the Mekong River with zero import tax, starting with 400 tons of cup lump rubber in September and increasing to 2400 tons in October [86][90]. Indonesia's Situation - **Production**: In 2025, most areas had normal phenological conditions, but South Sumatra had much higher precipitation in the third quarter. From January to July 2025, the cumulative production was 1.3736 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.56%. Limited by old tree age, production has been declining in recent years.
