RUBBER PROCESSING BUSINESS ADVANTAGES IN AFRICA

The global demand for natural rubber is projected to reach a staggering 35 million tons by 2030, with a projected CAGR of 3.2%.
While Africa produces around 1.1 million tons of natural rubber annually, a significant portion is exported unprocessed. Invest in domestic processing facilities to capture a larger share of the value chain.
Advanced processing technologies will minimize waste and utilize environmentally friendly practices, which will cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly rubber products.
Processing raw rubber unlocks a world of investment options like technical rubber goods (tires, hoses, belts), Medical-grade rubber (catheters, gloves, and other medical equipment) and Consumer goods (footwear, sporting goods). This diversification ensures a stable market and maximizes profit potential.
Implement robust traceability systems like Forest Stewardship Council to demonstrate your commitment to sustainable rubber sourcing and responsible practices.
