MUMBAI (Reuters): India’s natural rubber imports in August fell 17 percent on year to 14,870 tons as tyre-makers reduced imports hoping local prices would fall, a senior government official, who declined to be named, told Reuters on Tuesday.



The world’s fourth-biggest producer imported 17,962 tons in August last year, he said.
