1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - The rubber production in Cote d'Ivoire has significant growth potential in 2025, with an expected increase of 210,000 tons. Nigeria's 160,000 - hectare rubber plantation is projected to yield 200,000 - 300,000 tons of rubber from 2028 - 2032. In the future, Congo, Gabon, and Nigeria may have substantial rubber - planting potential. The decline in rubber prices has mostly released risks, and the cost - effectiveness of going long is gradually emerging. Traders should wait for a suitable upward - driving force to enter long positions [2][32][36]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Cote d'Ivoire - **Production Increase Potential**: By August 2025, it had a cumulative increase of 130,000 tons, and an expected increase of 210,000 tons in 2025 [2]. - **Planting and Production Data**: In 2022, the rubber tree planting area was about 700,000 hectares. By 2024, 12,500 hectares of new plantations were built. The 2024 export volume was 1.51 million tons, a 7.7% decrease from 2023. The APROMAC reported 2024 sustainable TSR rubber production of 1.152 million tons, accounting for about 76% of total exports. The estimated 2024 planting area was about 1.22 million hectares, and the tapping area was about 1.09 million hectares [4][8][10]. - **Data Discrepancy**: The difference between production and export data is due to different statistical calibers. Export data includes raw rubber, cup lump, and processed rubber, while APROMAC's data refers to sustainable TSR rubber [10]. 3.2 Nigeria - **Production Capacity Projection**: With a 160,000 - hectare planting area, it is expected to form a rubber production capacity of 200,000 - 300,000 tons from 2028 - 2032. The NARPPMAN aims to contribute 12% (1.74 million tons) to global rubber production, though the timeline is undetermined [13][18]. - **Industry History**: The rubber industry has gone through early wild - collection, commercial - variety introduction, prosperity - decline, and modern - revival stages. In 2024, the output rebounded to 149,000 tons, and it became the second - largest rubber producer in Africa [15][17]. - **Production Strategy**: Strategies to increase production include expanding planting areas, integrating small - scale farmers through outsourcing, and developing industrial processing and marketing. The association plans to increase regional offices from 18 to 24 [20]. 3.3 Congo Democratic Republic (DRC) - **Rainforest and Planting Potential**: The DRC's rainforest area accounts for about 60% (222 million hectares) of the Congo Basin's 370 million - hectare rainforest. The potentially suitable area for rubber planting is 30 - 50 million hectares, but the current planting area is only 20,000 - 30,000 hectares [21][22]. - **Production**: In 2024, the rubber output was about 14,000 tons, accounting for less than 1% of Africa's total output. Rubber is the fourth - largest export cash crop, but processing capacity is weak [23]. 3.4 Congo Republic (ROC) - **Rainforest and Planting Potential**: The rainforest area is about 21.8 million hectares, accounting for 85% of the country's area. The suitable area for rubber planting is about 10 - 15 million hectares, but the currently developed area is only 100,000 - 200,000 hectares [25]. - **Production**: In 2024, the rubber output was about 5,000 tons, accounting for less than 1% of Africa's total output. It is mainly exported to the EU and China, with weak processing capacity [26]. 3.5 Gabon - **Planting Potential**: The forest coverage rate is 88% (about 22 million hectares). The potentially suitable area for rubber planting is about 20 - 22 million hectares, and the speculated potential planting area is 4 - 4.5 million hectares. Currently, the planted area is about 20,000 - 30,000 hectares, and the planned expansion is to 56,900 hectares by 2025, with an expected output of 1,000 - 10,000 tons [27][31]. - **Environmental Policies**: Gabon emphasizes forest protection and sustainable development. Policies such as the 1993 Environmental Law and forest - management reforms restrict rubber - planting expansion [28]. 3.6 Africa's Overall Rubber - Planting Potential - The theoretically maximum area suitable for rubber planting in Africa is estimated to be 59 million hectares, with a potential of 78 million hectares [33]. 3.7 Views on Rubber Prices - **Macro and Industry Perspectives**: From a macro perspective, US tariff increases and EU anti - dumping measures on Chinese tires have put pressure on rubber export expectations, but there are also positive policy expectations. From a rubber - industry perspective, the current weather is normal, port inventories are decreasing, and the impact on rubber prices is limited. Terminal demand is weak, and overall demand is sluggish. Seasonal bullish trends usually occur in the third quarter [34]. - **Price Outlook**: The decline in rubber prices has mostly released risks, and the cost - effectiveness of going long is gradually emerging. Traders should wait for a suitable upward - driving force to enter long positions [36].

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.

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. ANRPC expects Indonesia's annual production in 2025 to decrease by 9.8% year - on - year, reaching 2.0404 million tons [99][102]. Vietnam's Situation - **Production**: From January to July 2025, the production was 511,700 tons, a cumulative year - on - year decrease of 8.89%. The output has not met expectations since the start of tapping this year, and a decline is expected in the fourth quarter. ANRPC expects Vietnam's annual production in 2025 to decrease by 1.3% year - on - year, reaching 1.2797 million tons [117]. Cote d'Ivoire's Situation - **Production**: The single - yield level has room for improvement. The output in 2024 was about 1.662 million tons. Future production is expected to increase by 5% - 10% annually, with an estimated output of 1.775 - 1.8 million tons in 2025, or 1.78 - 2.03 million tons based on the growth rate [124]. - **Policy and Export**: Zero - tariff policies for African countries are expected to be implemented. After the policy is implemented, exports to China may increase from the current 315,300 tons per year to 324,900 - 448,200 tons per year [127].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Affected by the conflict in Indonesia, the supply expectation of rubber has been disturbed. The market is worried that the rubber production and export of the world's second-largest rubber-producing country may decline due to the riots. Supported by bullish factors, China's rubber futures showed a volatile and stable trend this week. It is expected that China's rubber futures may maintain a volatile and stable trend in the future [5][11]. - Although the main rubber-producing areas in Indonesia are not directly damaged at present, the riots have posed potential threats to its industrial chain through multiple channels such as labor, logistics, and policy confidence. In the short term, production may fluctuate, and export delivery faces a risk of delay; in the long term, it depends on whether the government can effectively resolve social conflicts and rebuild governance credibility. If the situation continues to be turbulent, Indonesia's position in the global natural rubber market may be challenged [6][29]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - The spot price oscillated and rebounded, and the basis widened [1]. - The futures price rose, and the monthly spread turned to premium [1]. 2. Rubber Market Supply and Demand - The rubber production of producing countries has steadily recovered, increasing the supply pressure [5]. - The tire operating rate has slightly recovered [5]. - The sales volume of the automobile market has significantly improved [5]. - The inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange has recovered, and the inventory in the Qingdao Free Trade Zone has increased [5]. 3. Preface - In late August 2025, large-scale demonstrations broke out in multiple cities in Indonesia, causing casualties. The trigger was the high housing subsidies for members of parliament approved by the Indonesian Congress and a series of controversial remarks made by the members. The turmoil in Indonesia may have a profound impact on the rubber supply and export pattern [10]. 4. Supply Expectation Disturbance and Rubber Volatility Stabilization - Since September, affected by the conflict in Indonesia, the supply expectation of rubber has been disturbed. The market is worried that the rubber production and export may decline. Supported by bullish factors, China's rubber futures showed a volatile and stable trend. The Shanghai rubber futures 2601 contract traded in the range of 15,720 - 16,135 yuan/ton, and the standard rubber futures 2511 contract traded in the range of 12,605 - 12,935 yuan/ton. It is expected that China's rubber futures may maintain a volatile and stable trend in the future [11]. 5. Root Causes of the Riots in Indonesia - The root causes of the large-scale protests in Indonesia are economic inequality, policy conflicts, and the failure of democratic reform. The riots have caused serious consequences, including traffic paralysis, arrests, arson, and a decline in the stock market [20][21]. 6. Indonesia as an Important Rubber-Producing Country - Indonesia is the world's second-largest natural rubber producer. Its rubber plantations are mainly concentrated in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Sumatra features large-scale and intensive production, while Kalimantan is in the stage of scattered small farmers with great potential for future production increase [22]. 7. Impact of the Riots on Rubber Production and Export in Indonesia - The El Niño phenomenon in 2024 had a negative impact on Indonesia's rubber production. In 2024, the total rubber production was 2.3443 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 758,000 tons, a decline of 24.43%. From January to June 2025, the total rubber production was 1.1761 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 73,800 tons, a decline of 5.90%. From January to June 2025, the total export volume of natural rubber was 892,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 108,500 tons, an increase of 13.85%. If the riots continue, rubber production and export may further decline, and international rubber prices may rise [25]. - The riots may affect rubber production through labor shortages and logistics disruptions, impact exports through port operations and supply chain stability, and shake policy confidence and foreign investment [26][27]. 8. Conclusion - Although the main rubber-producing areas in Indonesia are not directly damaged at present, the riots have posed potential threats to its industrial chain. In the short term, production may fluctuate, and export delivery faces a risk of delay; in the long term, it depends on whether the government can effectively resolve social conflicts and rebuild governance credibility. If the situation continues to be turbulent, Indonesia's position in the global natural rubber market may be challenged [6][29].
