Thailand is one of the largest natural rubber producers in the world. However, the consumption of natural rubber in the country only accounts for 10% of total products. Thus, the country is encouraging the use of natural materials, including rubber, for production.

Three of the products made from Thailand's natural rubber were introduced at the fair include paving slabs, decks and sports floors. All three use raw materials such as natural rubber and recycled rubber. The production of natural rubber products helps Thailand take advantage of abundant raw materials in the country instead of importing artificial rubber from abroad.

Vietnam is also one of the countries with natural rubber raw materials, ranked 4th in the world export volume of this product. Therefore, the use of natural rubber as a raw material for production in Thailand can be a lesson for Vietnam to refer.
