Rubber as a commodity: many end uses
Rubber is a widely used material, in both naturally and synthetically sourced forms. Companies use it in the manufacturing of tires and tubes, rubber gloves, latex condoms, erasers, in adhesives and coatings, nozzles, as elastic material in clothing, and more. Accordingly, rubber is an important commodity due to its numerous uses in everyday items.
Rubber prices and rubber producers
As with other internationally traded commodities that have relatively low market prices, low rubber prices have a negative impact on the rubber producers themselves. The resulting issues of poverty for natural rubber producers has led to the creation of the Fair Rubber Association (FRA), which is a multi-stakeholder association that aims to improve the lives and working conditions of the primary producers by utilizing Fair Trade principles.
