several	XX
chances	XX
missed	XX
until	XX
the	XX
78th	XX

from	XX

would	XX
not	XX

to	XX
order	XX
airdrops	XX

food	XX
for	XX
the	XX
refugees	XX
,	XX
even	XX
against	XX
the	XX
wishes	XX
of	XX

government	XX
in	XX
Kinshasa	XX
and	XX
the	XX
Zairean	XX
rebels	XX
who	XX
control	XX

General	XX
Baril	XX
saw	XX
rebel	XX
leader	XX
Laurent	XX
Kabila	XX
in	XX
Goma	XX
last	XX
week	XX
but	XX
the	XX
rebels	XX
told	XX
him	XX
the	XX
crisis	XX
was	XX
over	XX
because	XX
most	XX
of	XX
the	XX
Rwandan	XX
refugees	XX
have	XX
already	XX
gone	XX
home	XX
.	XX

The	XX
rebels	XX
do	XX
not	XX
want	XX
the	XX
multinational	XX
force	XX
to	XX
deploy	XX
on	XX
the	XX
ground	XX

it	XX
might	XX

army	XX
regain	XX
control	XX
of	XX
the	XX
area	XX

Kinshasa	XX
opposes	XX
airdrops	XX

apparently	XX
because	XX
the	XX

could	XX
fall	XX
into	XX
the	XX
hands	XX
of	XX
the	XX
rebels	XX
and	XX
their	XX
local	XX
supporters	XX

Canadian	XX
Defence	XX
Minister	XX
Doug	XX

on	XX
Thursday	XX
that	XX
the	XX
multinational	XX

would	XX
probably	XX
not	XX
have	XX
to	XX
make	XX

intervene	XX
militarily	XX

are	XX
going	XX

"	XX
Young	XX
told	XX

But	XX
General	XX
Baril	XX
said	XX
it	XX
would	XX
be	XX
premature	XX
to	XX
rule	XX
out	XX
any	XX
course	XX
of	XX
action	XX
until	XX

had	XX
more	XX

the	XX

Indian	XX
synthetic	XX
rubber	XX
output	XX
is	XX
not	XX
expected	XX
to	XX
rise	XX
significantly	XX
in	XX
the	XX
next	XX

but	XX
demand	XX
will	XX
rise	XX
to	XX
145,000	XX

Matthew	XX
estimates	XX
that	XX
by	XX
the	XX
2000/01	XX
season	XX
,	XX
the	XX
gap	XX
between	XX
natural	XX
rubber	XX
output	XX

will	XX
rise	XX
to	XX
51,000	XX
tonnes	XX
and	XX
319,000	XX
tonnes	XX
in	XX
2010/11	XX

Natural	XX

production	XX
will	XX
go	XX
up	XX
to	XX
695,000	XX
tonnes	XX
in	XX
2000/01	XX
against	XX
consumption	XX
of	XX
746,000	XX
tonnes	XX
.	XX

In	XX
2010/11	XX
,	XX
domestic	XX
demand	XX
should	XX
rise	XX
further	XX
to	XX
1.233	XX
million	XX
tonnes	XX
while	XX
production	XX
will	XX
only	XX
reach	XX
about	XX
914,000	XX
tonnes	XX
.	XX

One	XX
way	XX
to	XX
bridge	XX
the	XX
widening	XX
gap	XX
is	XX
to	XX
put	XX
more	XX
land	XX
under	XX
cultivation	XX
which	XX
the	XX
Rubber	XX

official	XX
estimates	XX
will	XX
reach	XX
220,000	XX

between	XX
now	XX

the	XX

2003	XX

this	XX
may	XX
not	XX
