IRCo participated virtually in the Sustainable Natural Rubber Forum, themed “Aligning Priorities for Resilient Supply Chain,” held on 19 August 2026 in Kochi, India. The event was jointly organised by the Rubber Board of India and the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC).
The forum highlighted key challenges facing the rubber industry, including climate change, supply chain traceability, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the growing demand for sustainable materials. Discussions also emphasised that stronger collaboration across the value chain and inclusion of smallholders are essential to ensuring a sustainable future for the rubber industry.
