Rubber Products Exhibition Centre Malaysia

Rubber Products Exhibition Centre Malaysia

Rubber products have been developed and produced to help make our lives easier. Currently, the top three natural rubber producing countries are Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. These three countries account for 70% of total natural rubber being produced in the world.

Malaysia used to rank number 1 as a rubber producing country during the time when the British ruled the country. One of the main reasons tbe British asked the Indians to come to Malaya then was to work in the rubber estates as planting and tapping of rubbers were labour intensive.
