印度橡胶农民要求改变政策,以便在产量下降和进口增加的情况下保护价格。 Indian rubber farmers demand policy changes to protect prices amid falling yields and rising imports.

印度橡胶种植者,特别是Karnataka的橡胶种植者,敦促政府将天然橡胶重新归类为园艺作物,并将复合橡胶的进口关税提高到25%,以保护国内价格。 Indian rubber growers, especially in Karnataka, are urging the government to reclassify natural rubber as a horticulture crop and raise import duties on compound rubber to 25% to protect domestic prices. 在2025年11月29日的Ujire会议上,农民和经济学家指出,进口增加,特别是东盟和南盟国家的免税复合橡胶,是14年来价格下跌26.31%的主要驱动因素。 At a November 29, 2025, conference in Ujire, farmers and economists cited rising imports—particularly duty-free compound rubber from ASEAN and SAARC nations—as a key driver of a 26.31% price drop over 14 years. 尽管2024-25年的国内生产量为8.75万吨,消费量为14.25万吨,但种植者要求最低支持价格为每公斤258千瓦、基于天气的保险和价格稳定基金,以应对经济压力和防止土地进一步转换。 Despite domestic production of 8.75 lakh tonnes in 2024–25 and consumption of 14.25 lakh tonnes, growers demand a minimum support price of ₹258 per kg, weather-based insurance, and a price stabilisation fund to address economic strain and prevent further land conversion.
