Besides the domestic consumption of natural rubber into rubber goods is still very small, Indonesia is also still dependent on the export of these commodities abroad. The new natural rubber producing countries which are quite troubling the world natural rubber market including Indonesia are also China, Vietnam and Cambodia. One of the main weaknesses of Indonesian farmers' natural rubber is dirty. This is a cause of low prices. The cost of cleaning the rubber is too high. Therefore it is indeed necessary to have a way to diversify rubber products or increase the consumption of natural rubber in the country is very important. In order for many people to produce rubber goods, this means that many people know that cleaning rubber is necessary and does not need to be polluted. In Palembang itself, there was PT. Sri Bina Havea and Intirub Tire Factory, but both are gone. Thus, the way to produce rubber goods of natural rubber needs to be socialized to the Indonesian people, especially in South Sumatetra. This certainly greatly influences the development of the local economy given that South Sumatetra is the largest producer of natural rubber in Indonesia and this result is mostly produced by farmers rather than large companies. For this reason, this service aims to provide information about the technology of processing natural rubber into rubber goods to the public. This service was carried out on the people of Suban Jeriji village, Rambang Dangku Sub-District, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra. The method used in this activity is a lecture and interactive discussion about the manufacture of natural rubber finished goods with the help of LCD and accompanied by providing samples of finished goods products from semi-finished natural rubber. The target to be achieved in this activity is the formation of insights into thinking that natural rubber goods are a way to overcome the ever-uncertain prices of natural rubber on the market. The long-term target of this activity is perhaps one day there are students or students who are interested in becoming entrepreneurs of natural rubber goods.

ABSTRACTShare of Indonesia's export value of natural rubber in the international market is almost always below Thailand, which is one of the competiting countries. The others countries began to become a threat to Indonesia because their exports share of natural rubber showed an increasing. This indicates that there is intense competition in the international market. As a country with the largest plantation area in the world, Indonesia should be superior. But this can be an opportunity to be able to compete in the world market so it is important to be managed more deeply so that it can create competitive advantages that can increase competitiveness. This study aims to determine the position of the competitiveness of natural rubber exports for the three countries of ITRC in the international market. The analytical method used is dynamic RCA. The results showed that all products of natural rubber coded HS 400110, 400121, 400122, 400129 and 400130 were experiencing a decline in growth in the export share of the three countries of ITRC : Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, but the market demand conditions for these products were declining in that time period.

Intermittent cycles of boom and bust based on one product have long characterized the economic history of Brazil. In this respect, the immense tropical rainforest comprising the Amazon Basin has been no exception. Economic activity reached its peak in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when this region held a virtual monopoly position in the world rubber market. Manaus, strategically located at the confluence of the Negro and Solimões (Amazonas) Rivers, became the hub of the rubber industry and was transformed from an obscure river town of 3,000 inhabitants to a prosperous, cosmopolitan city of 50,000 in less than forty years. Due to an influx of Asian plantation-grown rubber, though, world prices started declining after 1910 and the Brazilian monopoly was broken—between 1910 and 1934, the Amazon's share of the world rubber market fell precipitously from 60 percent to 1 percent (Andrade, 1950: 23).

The automotive industry is one of the most important sectors of the world economy, which also belongs to the most capital-intensive areas of the world economy. Globally, the production of automobiles and components employs about 9 million people, who assemble 67 million vehicles each year, contributing 15% of the world's GDP. In addition, everyone employed at the automobile plant provides jobs for 14 more people in related industries. The automotive industry uses more than 15% of the global production of steel and aluminum, more than 10% of the copper smelter in the world. The industry is also the leading consumer of lead, synthetic and natural rubber (50%, 35% and 75% of global production, respectively). In addition, cars in service use half of the world's oil. Consumers spend up to 15% of their budget on cars every year. At the same time, there is a tendency for most of these indicators to grow.

Rubber trees are among the plants which have sustainable economic values. In Vietnam, the discovery, cultivation and exploitation of rubber trees are closely associated with the natural formation and the historical upheavals of Vietnam as well as the world. Rubber was internationalized in the 18th-19th centuries and used extensively in the colonial industry of Vietnam during this period. This paper aims to provide insight into the importation and exploitation of rubber in Vietnam. Over 120 years of cultivating and exploiting rubber trees in Vietnam is the evidence of the plant’s internalization, its significance in the capitalist economic development, and the proof of France’s wisdom and economic strength. Upon this solid foundation, Vietnamese people today still preserve and continue developing rubber trees. The coverage of rubber trees in Vietnam focuses largely on the southeast part of the country, where fertile soil is ideal for perennial crops. Today, rubber growing and exploiting remains the backbone of Vietnamese economy, creating sustainable economic values. Through this paper, the author hopes to create a prospect for the internalization of Vietnamese rubber trees, contributing to the knowledge industry of the human kinds in the future.

Abstract I have not gone into compounding and testing results on polyisoprene and polybutadiene. As you well know, they are widely used in the rubber industry. From a technical standpoint, we know we can replace natural rubber with cis-polyisoprene. However, the profitability of the process is closely tied to the availability of isoprene monomer and the price ratio of cis-polyisoprene and natural rubber. Sometimes the economics is favorable and sometimes unfavorable. Consequently, polyisoprene expansion is slow in the Free World. In the Communist countries, however, the planned economy is pushing ahead with polyisoprene—projections for 1985 are for 817 000 metric tons versus 227 000 metric tons in the Free World. Is there a possibility of an entirely new synthetic rubber that will be the equal of polyisoprene, but more economical? Is there a blend of elastomers that will replace natural? Is there a chance the economics of polyisoprene might become more favorable? Certainly the answers pose a challenge to those of us in research. We cannot sit back and say we have reached the ultimate, for the world of the tire is constantly changing, and we must be able to meet the change. The work reported here could not have been carried out without the invaluable contributions of my colleagues at BFGoodrich. I wish to especially mention: Jim Shipman and Jack Kiehl for the early infrared work and claiming that I was trying to fool them with my first copolymer; Vern Folt, the enthusiastic section leader for the early project ; Earl Carlson, who elucidated the conditions for making trans-polyisoprene and trans-polybutadiene ; Dave Craig for supplying the pure isoprene for the early work; Bob Minchak and Harold Tucker for some of the cobalt studies and titanium studies; Harvey Scott for the cobalt chloridealuminum chloridethiophene catalyst; Ed Wilson and M. Reinhart for compounding studies; Waldo Semon and Carlin Gibbs for directing it all and allowing us such a free hand; Floyd Miller, who did such an outstanding job of scaling the process directly from a 50 g lab recipe to production size runs; and the numerous, capable technicians who have worked for me— they are the unsung heroes of the laboratory work. Let me say again how highly honored I feel to receive this award. I am accepting it for all at BFGoodrich, for it was truly a team effort.
