The Ministry of Finance will stop collecting export taxes on rubber coded HS40.01, 40.02 and 40.05, starting from October 2, according to its latest decree.
The move aims to encourage the export of rubber.
Rubber export prices began to fall strongly in the middle of last year and are now between VND36 million and VND37 million (US$1,694-$1,741).
The majority of rubber produced in Viet Nam was exported, while local consumption accounted for a modest ratio.
