Vietnam exported some 182,000 metric tons (tonnes) of rubber to China in the first seven months of 2014, a fall of 21 percent from the corresponding period of last year, according to data provided by the Vietnam Industry and Trade Information Center (VITIC).
China and Malaysia remained to be the largest rubber importers of Vietnam in the past seven months. However, Vietnam's exports of rubber to the two countries both experienced sharp year-on-year falls in January-July.
