Demand Factors
- Tripura rubber price today reflects weak global sentiment, with auto industry profits under pressure.
- Restocking ahead of China’s National Day holiday (Oct 1–8) provides some temporary support, but overall buying remains limited.
Supply Concerns
- Typhoon “Ragasa” is bringing heavy rains across Southeast Asia, disrupting rubber tapping in Thailand and neighboring countries.
- In Tripura, rubber tapping may also face disruptions due to recent monsoon rains, which can affect supply and influence Tripura rubber price today.
Thailand Price Trends
- Sheet Rubber: Stable at 61.05 THB/kg.
- Latex: Fell by 0.50 THB to 54.80 THB/kg.
- Cup Lump: Up 0.10 THB to 53.85 THB/kg.
Export Data – Thailand
- Jan–Aug 2025 natural rubber exports: 1.789 million tons (–8% YoY).

- Combined exports: 2.906 million tons (+6.3% YoY).
