India's natural rubber imports more than tripled to 18,326 tonnes in October as tyre manufacturers took advantage of lower prices in foreign markets to increase imports, the National Rubber Board of India said on November 22. Rubber output fell from 89,300 tonnes to 86,300 tonnes in October as Kerala, a major rubber producing state, cut rubber due to heavy rainfall. India is the world's fourth largest importer of natural rubber from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
