This is explained by a reduction in inventories in China and ongoing rains in Southeast Asia, which continue to create supply challenges.

The World Bank projects a 3% growth in natural rubber prices over the next two years, a significant development considering the sharp increases in 2024.

The European Union has suspended the implementation of its anti-deforestation policy for one year, now set to take effect at the end of 2025. Small and medium-sized enterprises will have until June 2026 to comply.
