The Ministry is also set to propose to the government new investment supporting measures for small sanitary glove manufacturers in Thailand, to boost their competitiveness and reduce production costs.The general public and the private sector are being encouraged to use products made from natural rubber such as sanitary gloves used in the food industry to reduce contact to foods, and increase precautions against gastrointestinal diseases.-- NNT 2016-01-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextStationBangkok Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Apart from condoms, actually need good and comfortable massage bed made from rubber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasset Tak Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 And in Europe and US many medical practitioners tries to use natural rubber as little as possible as there are people that are allergic to natural rubber. Allergies to latex (natural rubber) is an increasing health problem around the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Forget the MOPH. The police and army must have a much greater demand for use in rubber hoses and other devices used in solving major crimes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Apart from condoms, actually need good and comfortable massage bed made from rubber! Yes or latex mattresses like IKEA has. Or good cheap tires, latex suits, rubber boots, just make something of the rubber and sell that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I expect all the ministries will make similar announcements for propaganda purposes, but in terms of any significant additional amount of rubber being bought it will be very little. I'm sure the rubber farmers are not falling for this govt tap dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siliconvalley Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wow... The beginning of the end. Thailand is maybe getting a clue what resources they really have to export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyrice2000 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 In the end, the junta agreed to buy 100,000 tonnes of rubber above market price. They are doing no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
