Rubber Buyers Loei to Udon Thani Area

Post by **mykthemin** » January 19, 2012, 1:21 pm

I am looking for rubber buyers in the Loei and Udon Thani area, not the small buyers in the villages, I am looking for the people the small buyers sell to, ie cut out the middle man.
The prices at the moment are crazy low in the villages and want to get a much better price.
Any one have any good contacts?

I don't follow rubber prices, but what you're getting sounds pretty low.

Here's a couple of websites that may be able to point you in the right direction for buyers and market pricing:

Good luck!

There's a commercial rubber operation on the highway between Loei and Udon that you might be able to work with. I don't recall the name of it but there's a sign outside on the highway in english. It's located about 25kms outside Udon just after Nong Wau Saw. It will be on your right heading to Udon. It's a modern operation. I think (but am not sure) they're buying raw latex for processing at the plant. I've toured through the plant once or twice while on a bicycle trip. I hope this helps.
