Countries by Natural Rubber Production 2024

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by total natural rubber production in 2024, measured in millions of metric tons according to the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries. Thailand is the world's largest natural rubber producer — though Indonesia and Vietnam have narrowed the gap substantially in recent decades. Over 70% of global natural rubber comes from smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia, making it one of the world's most smallholder-dominated global commodity chains.

✨ AI Insight

Thailand's lead in natural rubber production at 4.7 million metric tons showcases its established dominance in the market, yet Indonesia's production of 3.5 million metric tons indicates a competitive landscape where the gap is narrowing. Vietnam, at 1.3 million metric tons, also reflects the growing capabilities of Southeast Asian countries. The production levels of other nations, such as Ivory Coast (0.78 million) and China (0.73 million), are significantly lower, suggesting that Southeast Asia remains the epicenter of rubber cultivation. This trend underscores the importance of smallholder farmers, who contribute over 70% of global rubber supply, highlighting both the economic significance and the vulnerabilities faced by these producers in the face of market fluctuations and climate change.
