PETALING JAYA: The Ministry of Plantation and Commodities is cautiously optimistic that Malaysia will be able to achieve a double digit growth in rubber gloves export revenue this year. Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin said that last year, Malaysia exported over RM11 billion worth of rubber gloves, which accounts for 58 per cent of the nation’s total export of rubber products. "Malaysia is also the global leader in the rubber gloves industry. Malaysia recorded RM3.3 billion rubber gloves export revenue in the first quarter of 2024. On another development, Oon said MARGMA is currently exploring the establishment of industry standards for Malaysian-manufactured rubber gloves and implementing the 'Malaysia Sustainable Natural Rubber' initiatives, including 'Green Gloves' and other ecofriendly options.
