About This Dataset

Natural Rubber Production by Country
Natural rubber production has shifted continent since 1990. Thailand and Indonesia still lead, but the two most dramatic movers are going in opposite directions. Ivory Coast has grown more than twentyfold, from 74,000 tonnes to 1.69 million, and is now the world's third-largest producer, having overtaken Vietnam. Malaysia has gone the other way: second in the world in 1990, it has since lost roughly seventy per cent of its output and sits eighth, as growers switched land to more profitable palm oil. Ghana's rise is proportionally steeper still, though from a very small base. Figures are FAOSTAT production data, most of it reported by national governments.
Analysis

The top three in Natural Rubber Production (Thousand Tonnes) in 2024 are Thailand (4,789), Indonesia (2,262) and Ivory Coast (1,687). Thailand and Indonesia together hold 50.2% of the combined total of all 14 entities. Only 1 of the 14 reaches even half the leader's figure (2,394.5 or more). It takes the next three entities (Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Vietnam) added together to match Thailand. Over 1990–2024 the steepest rise belongs to Ghana: +3325% (4 → 137). Malaysia is the only entity to fall over the period, down 70%. Thailand has held first place in every year covered here.

How the figures are calculated
  • Values use the measure and unit named on this page. Consult the dataset description and cited source for coverage, definitions and any unit conversions. Displayed values may be rounded for readability.
  • Missing years are left empty rather than estimated — no interpolation, no carrying a previous year forward.
  • Change is measured between the first and last year in which an entity actually reported a value, so a series that starts late is not penalised for the years before it existed.
  • The compound annual rate is (last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, using those same two reported years.
  • Entities are ranked highest-first on their value in 2024.
  • An entity that reported nothing in the latest year is still listed — it follows the ranked entities in the table rather than being dropped.
