Vietnam’s rubber industry
Vietnam’s rubber industry is one of the country’s key export sectors, ranking among the top global suppliers of natural rubber.
Major production areas include Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, and Dong Nai, where established plantations support large-scale output.
The industry faces challenges from weak global demand, volatile prices, and new environmental regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation, which requires traceability in supply chains.
Vietnam wants to move up the value chain by expanding processing capacity, improving farm productivity, and promoting sustainability to maintain competitiveness in global markets.
