At least 50,000 tonnes of rubber shipments from Thailand, the world's bigges rubber producer and exporter, were delayed by severe floods in the country's major rubber producing areas, disrupting transportation, senior industry officials said on Thursday (Mar 31).
"At least 50,000 tonnes of rubber had to be delayed and I expect more could be delayed if the flood persists longer than expected," Luckchai Kittipol, president of the Thai Rubber Association, told Reuters.
