1 A Comparative Study of the Rubber Industry Supply Chain in Thailand Malaysia and Indonesia. Department of International Economics School of Economics The Center for International TradeStuies University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce 111
2 Abstract This research aimed to analyze and compare the supply chain of the rubber industry in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The methods of this study included collecting primary and secondary data, rubber-industry related documentaries and research reviews, in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs, the private sector and government agencies in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. This study found that the rubber-industry supply chains of these three countries were quite similar, except for the production proportion of upstream, midstream and downstream products. In Indonesia and Thailand, products gained from the supply chain were sufficient for domestic demands and exports, although limited midstream and downstream products needed to be imported. However, they were minimal when compared with domestic production. Malaysia mostly imported midstream and downstream products due to inadequate domestic production to meet the demands within the country. Malaysia imported rubber and its products mostly from Thailand, followed by Vietnam and Indonesia. The study found that Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand were not only competitors in the global market, but also were important partners in connecting and sharing products and raw materials with each other in both midstream and downstream industries.
