Introduction of natural rubber production cost
2022-09-05 08:26:32
Natural rubber production areas are mainly concentrated in hot spots and subtropical regions. my country's natural rubber is mainly concentrated in Yungui area. The production cost of natural rubber is mainly composed of three parts: one is the cost of rubber planting; the other is the labor cost of rubber tapping; the third is the cost of processing and transportation . Due to the large fluctuations and regional differences in planting-related costs and rubber tapping labor costs, it is difficult to give an accurate ratio here.
planting cost
Natural rubber planting and related costs mainly include land, seedling allocation, fertilizers and pesticides, tools, labor management and other expenses. Based on what we have learned from the previous investigation and visits to rubber production areas, we can estimate the relevant input costs in the process of rubber planting and production (due to differences in regions and production entities, land costs and related subjects will be slightly different).
Tapping labor cost
The labor cost of rubber tapping accounts for most of the rubber cost. Except for some small family-owned micro-plastic gardens, which are tapped by rubber farmers, the rubber plantations of medium-sized and above generally adopt the mode of hiring workers to tap the rubber. Since this part of the cost is directly linked to the price of glue, the labor cost of rubber tapping is highly variable.
Processing and transportation costs
After the fresh glue is harvested, it is preserved with ammonia to prevent it from solidifying. After that, it is sent to the rubber processing factory through the glue purchase point (the second plate dealer). After the raw glue is sent to the processing plant, it goes through a series of processing processes such as coagulation, creasing, granulation, drying, weighing and packaging (different glue types have different production processes). Taking into account the cost of factory equipment, electricity, labor, management, finance, etc., plus some transportation costs, it is calculated.
Due to the different production costs of natural rubber, the price of natural rubber products is greatly affected. With the increasing improvement of living standards, natural rubber products are more and more widely used in industry and life. Natural rubber has excellent physical and mechanical properties such as resilience, wear resistance, tear resistance, and high tensile strength. , At the same time, it has good electrical insulation, water barrier, air tightness, acid and alkali resistance and other electrochemical properties. Therefore, natural rubber is often used in rubber tires, hoses, tapes, and various shock absorption and sealing products.
Letone Technology focuses on the production, R&D and sales of polymer materials, rubber hoses and fluid connectors, and rubber and plastic sealing products. It is a recognized high-quality rubber hose manufacturing and service enterprise in the industry. According to customer needs, we can customize natural rubber compounds with full color system and hardness range of 20-95 degrees.
