Abstract

Various rubber products are used in the textile industry. Due to increased foreign supply and synthetic rubber production, the price of natural Rubber in India has become more volatile. This paper aims to develop an appropriate model to predict the weekly price using the Box Jenkins methodology. The weekly price for Indian RSS-1 Rubber for the sample period from January 2002 to December 2019 has been collected from the official website of the Indian Rubber Board. ACF and PACF correlograms check the series stationarity and identify the model parameters. A model with the maximum number of significant coefficients, lowest volatility, lowest Akaike's information criterion (AIC), lowest Schwarz criterion and highest Adjusted R-squared is tentatively selected as the appropriate model and for the same model diagnostic check is carried out. An appropriate model to forecast the weekly price for the RSS-1 variety of Rubber is ARIMA (1, 1, 4).
