A farmer collects latex in a rubber plantation at Deli Serdang district of the Indonesia's North Sumatra province December 16, 2008. With tyres accounting for 70 percent of world rubber demand, analysts said plans by Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia to cut exports by 915,000 tonnes and halt sales below $1.35 per kg may be too weak to make an impact as U.S carmakers await a bailout package, while Asian auto firms slash output. Indonesia is the second largest natural rubber producer after Thailand. REUTERS/Y.T Haryono (INDONESIA)
