Natural Rubber Price
Price Chart
"World" is the global benchmark price (World Bank Pink Sheet, monthly since 1960, where available). This commodity has no official global benchmark price, so "World (average)" is a simple, unweighted mean across whichever FAOSTAT-reporting countries had a producer price that year, computed by agri.markets — not a production-weighted figure, and not an official FAO statistic. Currency conversion uses monthly ECB reference rates since 1999 (some currencies joined later) — for comparison, not precise historical FX accounting.

About Natural Rubber
Tapped from rubber trees, mostly in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam - though Côte d'Ivoire has expanded so fast it now rivals Indonesia as the world's second-largest exporter. Around 70% of natural rubber goes into tires, so prices track car and truck production closely, and compete with oil-derived synthetic rubber - a cheaper substitute when crude oil prices fall. Weather during the tapping season and Southeast Asian labor availability are the main supply-side swing factors.
Latest World price (2025-12): +7% vs. the 5-year average, +14% vs. the 10-year average, -13% vs. a year ago.
