China's natural rubber in force outside the embarrassed

China has the world's largest consumer of natural rubber, but less than 30% of self-sufficiency rate has actually break security lines. China has gone through the international iron ore prices, rising international oil prices, should include natural rubber and other raw materials to strengthen the international sense of crisis to protect the security industry.

In 2003, China became the world's second largest tire producer and exporter, the world's largest tire manufacturer Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, and so have set up factories in China, which has made China more than the United States, the European Union and become World's largest rubber consuming country. In addition, machinery and electronics manufacturing industry's rapid development, China has also become a great power among the rubber industry is another reason.

And since 1998, China's rubber self-sufficiency rate was reduced year by year. Data show that in 2004 China's natural rubber consumption of 1,800,000 tons, but the country's output of only 570,000 tons, less than one-third of self-sufficiency. 2005's self-sufficiency rate of more than 30% of the industry think this is the most basic security line.

In the absence of clear national industrial policy guidance and support Chinese enterprises in the development of natural rubber overseas strategic resources in the process of difficulties. At the same time, the world's major natural rubber producing and consuming countries are stepping up on the rubber for the actual control of resources and use of resources trying to manage the world's natural rubber market. Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the world's natural rubber output of 69% in recent years, the three countries to vigorously push forward the industrialization of rubber, natural rubber restrictions on the export of raw materials.

With the producing countries to control their own production and marketing of the increased international prices of rubber monopoly organizations and the birth of Health. In 2002, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia in Bali, Indonesia set up the International Rubber Cooperation Group (ITRCO), on the basis of which further the formation of the three countries aimed at controlling the Jiaojia Rubber Co., Ltd. (IRCO). And then, the world's natural rubber exports 90% of the total amount of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and India to set up a natural rubber, "the five-nation Union."

A lot of rubber-consuming countries have also started to control the resources, and take the initiative to invest and build factories producing rubber States. Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, France, Singapore, Australia and India have been the main rubber producing countries to invest as much as possible to hold overseas natural rubber resources, even the Japanese government to provide discount loans.

The industry pointed out that China's rubber industry to be out of the current state of embarrassment, they should increase the natural rubber industry (mainly land clearing, planting and management) of investment in the country. Rubber and other strategic resources and industries, China is the lack of an effective early warning and the reserves adjustment mechanism.

In addition, the rubber production break hovering at a low level of the situation to ensure the security of supply of strategic resources, "going out" strategy should be an inevitable choice for China, to seek outside the parallel market supply and demand on the road.
