Description
Rubber is primarily produced in Thailand (32%) and Indonesia (26%) by small producers who are clearing acres of forests to plant this tree that is native to the Amazon rainforest. A highly concentrated production coupled with stressed ecosystems and a global consumption that has doubled in 40 years have led the European Commission to list natural rubber among the 27 critical raw materials.
