The seminar’s view

 

   In recent years, the land for growing rubber and rubber yield in Vietnam tend to be expanded and increase rapidly. In 2008, the rubber yield reached nearly 663,000 tonnes, and Vietnam was the world's fifth-largest rubber producer and the fourth-largest rubber exporter. However, the quality of rubber latex is still not good enough, thus it led to low prices when Vietnam rubber is exported to the world market.

   At the seminar, Deputy Minister Ho Xuan Hung said that it was necessary to closely check and enhance the rubber quality. He suggested that the rubber sector and related management agencies should cooperate to set up rubber latex processing standards; encourage enterprises to invest in production techniques; strengthen the effectiveness of quality control system; and supervise the quality of export products. Besides, he also asked localities having many rubber plantation areas to focus on the area planning and construction of appropriate rubber processing plants; and that rubber enterprises should actively enhance the latex quality as well as build rubber’s brand name with development of product quality, etc., making contribution to confirm the position of Vietnam rubber sector in the world market.
