Interesting read, no threat to tree rubber, they used to grow rubber in Florida, wages put a stop to that.
The 2 dollars a pound, $100 a barrel, just shows something is amiss, using that price setting, tire grade rubber should be around 100 Baht a kilo today. Take out shipping and processing cost etc dry cup should be twice the local price and high grade RSS over 70 Bt. local price.
Yeah Jim ,some thing is amiss as you rightly remarked, but what ?any one out there ?
