China to host 4th ANRPC annual meet in November

The Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) is organising the fourth edition of its annual rubber conference in Haikou City, in the Hainan province of China on November 2.

The one-day conference, with the theme 'Managing Uncertainty, Developing More Elastic Supply,' will be unique in providing an international meeting point and an ideal platform for meaningful interactions and networking among rubber industry players, policy makers, researchers and analysts across countries.

The conference contents include seven presentations and two panel discussions, broadly covering emerging trends and outlook on supply and demand, strategies of producing countries in the context of uncertainties in supply, new developments in auto-tyre manufacturing industry in China and India, growing uncertainties in commodity prices and  developments and trends in the natural rubber market.

The conference is being organised in conjunction with the ANRPC’s 34th session of its 11 member governments and annual meetings to be held from October 31 to November 4.

The current chair of the Kuala Lumpur-headquartered inter-governmental organisation is India, while China holds the vice chairmanship.
