Should be invited to visit China Rubber Association of Indonesia's rubber industry study

With the domestic automotive, electrical and mechanical energy, such as the rapid development of pillar industries, such as pulling a tire on the demand for rubber products, since 2003, China became the world's largest rubber consumer, but we have a shortage of rubber resources of the country . "Five-Year Plan" since the domestic consumption of natural rubber for more than 65%, synthetic rubber imports by 40%, natural rubber supply and demand issues, our country has become a bottleneck in the development of rubber industry. To establish a stable relationship between the supply of rubber resources, should the invitation of Indonesian Rubber Association, China Rubber Industry Association in 2006, from July 27 to August 3, Rubber Organization mission visited Indonesia 9 natural rubber processing plants, a Natural rubber plantation, and took part in the forum 3. The situation can be summarized as follows:

First, China's natural rubber production and imports

China's natural rubber production areas in Yunnan Province and Hainan Province for many years the development of production relatively stable.

It is understood that China's natural rubber production of space, mainly due to the limited acreage, it is difficult to further expand the area under cultivation. Production in 2005 due to disasters caused by typhoons in Hainan, according to the farm, two or three years will be difficult to restore.

China every year from the major rubber producing countries (Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.) a large number of imports of natural rubber, according to customs statistics, natural rubber imports in 2004 amounted to 1,300,000 tons; natural rubber imports in 2005 amounted to 1,410,000 tons, Together with glue, such as cross-border trade is more than 1,500,000 tons. China's rubber industry development trend of a strong, natural rubber demand will continue to grow and is expected by 2010, the increase in the amount of Synthetic, based on natural rubber imports will reach about 1,600,000 tons, in a very long time Will be dependent on imports of natural rubber, so look for a stable supply of natural rubber is a priority.

Second, the Indonesian natural rubber profiles

Indonesia is the world's second-largest producer of natural rubber, natural rubber planting area of the world, the great potential for development. Indonesia in 2005 natural rubber output was 2,271,000 tons, the world's natural rubber output of 23.3 percent, natural rubber production in Indonesia for only 10% of domestic consumption. In recent years, Indonesia continue to improve the rubber tree species planted in the past from the need to start tapping 4 and a half years, which has more than China in advance of the 2 - 3 years, and new varieties of just 3 and a half years will be able to tapping, a Scholaris of rubber trees yield a period of up to 25 years. In recent years, natural rubber prices, from 2004 to 12,000 yuan / ton rose to the current 26,000 yuan / ton or more, at one time reached 30,000 yuan / ton, boosted Indonesia's natural rubber production. Indonesia's natural rubber in 2005 the growth rate of 9% in 2006 will increase more than 5%, is the world's natural rubber production increased rapidly.

Indonesia's natural rubber processing capability. Sumatra, Java, the main producing areas in the vicinity of the processing enterprises have a strong group, Palembang and Medan city's natural rubber processing capacity of 120 million tons. And large scale enterprises (plastic-year-processing capacity 2-6 million tons, with an average of 50,000 tons / year, while domestic natural rubber processing companies in processing capacity in general, only a few thousand tons to 10,000 tons), raw rubber quality , For the Michelin tires, and other large multinational companies directly.

Indonesia's natural rubber exports way, one by Singapore's marketers procurement, product standards Indonesian standards; Second, the large multinational companies to Indonesia designated the procurement of direct manufacturers, product standards by the users, on-demand production, the need to protect.

Third, China and Indonesia on the rubber industry cooperation

In the past our customers in Indonesia's natural rubber enough to understand the situation, only a small number of imports, is a small amount of Jin Koujiao or through a third country trade. Indonesia in 2005 natural rubber exports to China to 249,800 tons, accounting for only Indonesia's natural rubber exports of 12.3 percent. Through this visit, so we are Indonesia's natural rubber production and trade have a better understanding of the situation, the delegation suggested that in the procurement of natural rubber, also in the light of the international mode of operation.

1, "the Group Procurement" and "joint procurement", with Indonesia's natural rubber to establish direct trade relations.

Henan Fengshen like tires in rubber consumption in about 100,000 tons of large companies can create conditions, such as Michelin, fixed-point, direct procurement standards, that is, the implementation of the Group of procurement; small and medium enterprises with plastic, through the good reputation , Strong marketing, implementation of joint procurement, processing plants in Indonesia by the Chinese side demands the standard processing enterprises; at the same time, it can be established domestic trade market to attract companies to the Indonesian market, set up a direct supply, through the establishment of non - The third new procurement system, that is, the natural rubber to ensure the quality and supply stability and reduce procurement costs.

2, the joint venture to build natural rubber processing plants.

In the light of China's rubber resources, go out of the country the development of natural rubber plantation industry, is imperative. However, taking into account the strength of enterprises, should not be the first to buy, buy a rubber plantation, construction, "land reclamation in the near future, long-term effect," a production base. A more realistic approach is to organize domestic enterprises with the right conditions, brought from the domestic equipment, technology and capital, the existing processing plant in cooperation with Indonesia, or holding a joint venture, or build a new plant, according to domestic users of the standard rubber processing standard plastic or composite Rubber, domestic direct sales. Indonesia in particular, the rubber compound, the existing processing capacity is relatively small, not technically sophisticated, more prospects for cooperation. Medan, Palembang and processing enterprises have great potential for cooperation, but also cooperation can be regarded as the beginning of cooperation projects. Conditions in the future, consider buying land, to buy rubber plantation, they must make great co-operation. The members of the delegation in a domestic and international logistics Co., Ltd. has the intention to be investment in equipment (rubber compound fine processing equipment) and Indonesia looking for natural rubber processing joint venture opportunities, in line with the standards of the domestic production of rubber-based adhesive common enterprise . The enterprise equipment, capital and other advantages, such as in factories overseas, will effectively reduce the cost of raw materials.

3, the need to cooperate with the Indonesian national policy and funding support. The short visit to Indonesia and domestic policy is still not enough to understand that if the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia will be able to assist the Department to do business, especially for each other's integrity, but also more understanding. Or build a separate joint venture capital, to solve the vast majority of enterprises in general, and the production of liquidity, the Bank of Indonesia as a result of high interest loans, can only address the domestic.
