    Chairman's Message

    The Rubber Association of Indonesia (GAPKINDO) has officially taken over the Chairmanship of the ASEAN Rubber Business Council (ARBC) for the term 2025 – 2026. The handover ceremony was held during the 30th Assembly on 5 October 2024 at Holiday Inn Melaka. This is such an honor but also a great responsibility. We have launched the preparation work in all aspects early and are now ready to make the best of this responsibility.

    Over the past 30 years of establishment and development, ARBC today has become a dynamically developing regional organization of Southeast Asian countries, with cooperative activities in almost all rubber industry fields. ARBC which comprises the rubber trade associations of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar which is members of the ARBC account for around 71% of the world’s total NR production.
