1 RUBBER DOWNSTREAM INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: CURRENT STATUS, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Nelly Rahman, Uhendi Haris Bogor Research Center for Rubber Technology Indonesian Rubber Research Institute 2 INTRODUCTION  Natural rubber is one of the great economic and social function for Indonesia  no doubt for environment conservation  Rubber export earning in 2008 accounted for US$ 6.057 billion or about 26% of estate crops export value.  Domestic consumption in Indonesia in 2008 was 414,000 tons accounted 15.0 % of the total production, (65 % was consumed by tyre industries).  Development of rubber downstream industry: increasing the added value, increase the consumption of natural rubber in the country, reducing imports of rubber goods, increase employment and foreign exchange savings. 3 CURRENT STATUS Indonesian rubber planted areas, production and consumption, 2001 – 2008 Item 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Area (000) ha 3345 3318 3290 3262 3279 3309 3414 3433 Production (000) tons (share of the world) (%) 1607 (22.29) 1630 (22.83) 1792 (23.27) 2066 (23.97) 2271 (25.25) 2637 (27.20) 2755 (27.85) 2751 (27.87) Export (000) tons 1452.7 1497.3 1660.9 1874.3 2023.8 2286.0 2406.7 2295.5 Value (Million US$) 782.1 1038.9 1493.5 2180 2582.5 4320.7 4868.7 6056.6 Domestic consumption (000) tons 142 145 156 196 221 355 391 414 4 Annual grown of production in Indonesia 5 Rubber Plantation Area Percentage 6 INDONESIAN RUBBER PLANTED AREAS Smallholders Government-owned Private Year Area (000 ha) 7 Indonesia rubber export by type and grade (metric tons), 2002 – 2008 Type and Grade 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Latex Concentrate 12,526 12.526 11,755 4,014 8,334 7,610 8,547 (0.75%) (0.75%) (0.63%) (0.20%) (0.36%) (0.32%) (0.37%) Ribbed Smoked Sheet 46,165 46,165 145,895 334,125 325,393 275,497 137,755 (2.78%) (2.78%) (7.78%) (16.51%) (14.23%) (11.45%) (6.00%) Standard Indonesian Rubber (Technically Specified Rubber) 1,589,387 1,589,387 1,684,959 1,674,721 1,952,268 2,121,863 2,148,499 (95.69%) (95.69%) (89.90%) (82.75%) (85.40%) (88.16%) (93.60%) Other types of NR 12,842 12,842 31,652 10,921 3.0 1,786 706 (0.77%) (0.77%) (1.69%) (0.54%) (0.00%) (0.07%) (0.03%) TOTAL 1,660,920 1,660,920 1,874,261 2,023,781 2,285,967 2,406,756 2,295,459 8 Export performance of Indonesian natural rubber, 2003 – 2008 9 Clasification of rubber goods industry in Indonesia a.
