Rubber industry is one of the backbones and the key player in Malaysia's economy alongside with oil palms, automotive and other industries. In addition, natural rubber has recently become one of Malaysia's most important economic contributors. Natural rubber price fluctuates due to the volatile nature of natural rubber price. Despite this, the price of Standard Malaysia Rubber 20 (SMR20) changes frequently over time. These are some of the reasons why the determination on the factors that influences the price of natural rubber is crucial. This research aims to identify the factors that affecting the price of natural rubber in Malaysia based on rubber tappers perspective.
