Rubber Processing, Malaysia
These workers process raw rubber in a plant in Malaysia. Malaysia is a leading world producer of natural rubber, which is collected from rubber trees grown on large plantations. Exports of raw materials such as rubber, petroleum, and metals were the basis of the Malaysian economy until the 1990s, when the manufacturing sector became increasingly important. The Malaysian economy ranks as one of the strongest in Southeast Asia.
