Abstract

In view of the seasonality in natural rubber price variations, with highest seasonal index in July and lowest in January, present study was undertaken to analyse the export competitiveness of Indian natural rubber. It was observed that the country has no competitiveness in both peak and lean seasons. Effective intervention of cooperative efforts by rubber farmers may be helpful in reducing marketing margin and thereby improving competitiveness.
