During the meeting, the MRPPA chair and members presented concerns related to rubber cultivation, export, the manufacturing process for high-value rubber products, and the future prospects of the rubber market.

In response to these presentations, the Union minister emphasized the government’s commitment to promoting the production of finished products derived from rubber.
