Import dependence remains heavy

China is one of the major natural rubber producers in the world. Both the planting area and the actual output are the fifth in the world. China is also the largest consumer and importer of natural rubber in the world. The output of natural rubber in China was only 533.1 thousand tons in 2006, but the total consumption was 2.13 million tons, and the imported amount was 1.61 million tons, with the output satisfying only a quarter of the demand.

The output of natural rubber in China grew constantly from 2001 to 2004. It increased from 477.5 ...
