NEW RUBBER PACT ADOPTED AT GENEVA CONFERENCE Producers and consumers representing most of world trade in natural rubber adopted a new International Natural Rubber Agreement (INRA) aimed at stabilizing world prices over the next five years. Negotiations for a new INRA, to succeed the present one which runs out next October, began nearly two years ago. Agreement on the new five-year pact, which uses a buffer stock to keep prices stable by selling or buying rubber as rates rise or fall, was reached at a two-week session here under the auspices of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
