1. Thailand

Thailand is considered the world's largest producer of natural rubber, accounting for about one-third of global production. More than 90% of rubber is exported, and statistics show that rubber brings more GDP revenue than its famous rice. Most rubber plantations are located in northern Thailand, while some plantations are located in the east. It is estimated that Thailand's annual rubber production is 4,305,069 metric tons, accounting for about 35.6% of global production.

2. Indonesia

Indonesia is one of the world's top-rated rubber producers, with a plantation area of about 3.5 million hectares, with small-scale farmers' rubber planting as its main planting model. About 90% of the rubber produced in Indonesia is exported, and the remaining rubber is used in the domestic manufacturing and automotive industries, with an estimated annual output of 3,088,400 metric tons, accounting for 27.3% of global production.

3. Malaysia

 Malaysia is a large latex exporter, mainly to more than 190 countries around the world. Its annual rubber output is estimated at 996,673 metric tons, accounting for 8.8% of global output.

4. India

India is a major producer of rubber, and Kerala's rubber production accounts for about 78% of the national output. Indian rubber plantations are mainly located in the northeastern states and Tamil Nadu. In addition, the major exporters of Indian rubber are Sri Lanka, China, Turkey, Malaysia, Spain, Nepal and Indonesia. Some of the rubber products exported are rubber shoes, tires and tubes, pharmaceuticals, belts and hose beds. India's annual rubber production is about 891,344 metric tons, accounting for 7.9% of global production.

5. China

China's rubber production is increasing every year. China is not only one of the major producers, but also a major consumer of synthetic rubber and a major importer of natural rubber. The world rubber market is significantly affected by China's rubber supply and demand. China's annual rubber output is 864,806 metric tons, accounting for 8.5% of global output.

6. Vietnam

Vietnam is one of the largest rubber producers and a major exporter of latex. Vietnam has more than 910,500 hectares of rubber tree plantations, most of which is exported. The central highlands and southeastern regions of Vietnam are home to plantations, and Gia Lai is the main producer of rubber. China is Vietnam's main export destination for rubber, accounting for 40% of latex exports. Vietnam's annual rubber production is 789,635 metric tons, accounting for 7% of global production.

7. The Philippines

The Philippines is the world's leading rubber producer and is known for producing a variety of high-quality rubber products to meet customer needs, with about 4 million acres of rubber plantations with an annual output of 54.7861 metric tons.

8. Cote d’Ivoire

Côte d'Ivoire is not only known for its cocoa production, it's also a major producer of rubber. Côte d'Ivoire farmers are abandoning other crops and turning to rubber, which is more lucrative than other agricultural crops. In recent years, its rubber production has increased significantly. There are about 150,000 rubber farmers in Côte d'Ivoire, about 520,000 hectares of rubber plantations, and a large plantation area of 50,080 hectares. Most of these plantations are located in southern Côte d’Ivoire, but rubber is also grown in the central-eastern and central-western regions. Côte d’Ivoire produces 411,044 metric tons of rubber annually, and production is expected to increase significantly in 2020.

9. Guatemala

Around 1940, Guatemala began to introduce Brazilian rubber trees for rubber planting through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It has more than 100,000 hectares of rubber tree plantations, most of which are located on the southern coast, with an annual rubber production of about 356,392 metric tons. .

10. Brazil

Brazil was one of the pioneers of rubber production in the mid-19th century, and the rubber tree is believed to have originated in South America, particularly Brazil. In the 19th century, Brazil was the world's leading rubber producer and dominated the world rubber market. However, a fungus called Microcyclus ulei infected rubber trees and destroyed most of the plantations, and heavy rains in the Amazon also drowned most of the rubber trees. This led to a significant drop in latex production, and other countries began to overtake Brazil in rubber production. Since then, Brazil has started planting rubber trees, which will become a large rubber producer in a few decades and gradually return to growth. Plantations are mainly in the states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Natex, Xapuri, Seringal Veneza, Rio de Janeiro and Feijó. Brazil's annual rubber production is 185,725 metric tons, and this output is estimated to increase as rubber plantations are renovated.
