The import of natural rubber has varied from year to year, and the export of natural rubber also in fluctuating trend. But there is an abnormal decline of export is 5398 tonnes in the year 2013-14. The consumption of natural rubber has increased from 638210 in 2001-02 to 1020910 in 2014-15. The above table also shows that output of the Mean and Standard Deviation. It is noted from the table that the mean value for the production of rubber is791948 tonnes , and consumption of rubber is 855790 tonnes, imports of rubber is 147039 tonnes, and exports of rubber is 38650 tonnes and the standard deviation value are 97112, 120512, 121932 and 24499 tonnes respectively. From the study we understood, that consumption exceeds production of NR in India, gap might be fulfilled by the imports. 5.3 INDIAN RUBBER MARKET India’s production of NR varies between 6 and 7 lakh tons annually which amounts to Rs. 3000 crores. 70 percent of the total rubber production in India is in the form of Ribbed Smoked Sheets (RSS). This is also imported by India accounting for 45 percentage of the total import of rubber. The Indian rubber industry has a turnover of Rs. 12,000 crores. Most of the rubber production is consumed by the tyre industry which is almost 52 percentage of the total production of India. Among the states, Kerala is the leading consumer of rubber followed by Punjab and Maharashtra. 5.4CHARACTERISTICS OF NATURAL RUBBER MARKET IN INDIA In India, NR is produced in southern states especially in Kerala but it is consumed all over the country. It necessitates the connecting link between producers and consumers through rubber 135 73830 56545 60353 46926 025090 029851 027145 030594 5398 1002 541095 38650 24499 801110 820305 861455 871720 930565 947715 964415 972705 981520 1020910 11981060 855790 120512
