KUALA NERANG, Feb 7 — Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC) and the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) today signed a memorandum of collaboration (MoC) to attract more investors to Kedah Rubber City (KRC), here.


The Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC) is targeting new markets this year, which include Middle East and African countries, to showcase high-quality local rubber products, says CEO Nor Hizwan Ahmad.

He also anticipates the demand for rubber products such as gloves, catheters and others to remain high while demand for other rubber products such as rubber components for the automotive industry, technical applications, consumer products and the emergence of rubberwood for biomass purposes is also expected to increase.
