"Revitalizing Rubber Plantations to Reach Greater Productivity" Natural rubber continues to boom with a strong stable growth. Driven by the tire sector and key markets like China, India and Malaysia which account for 48% of global usage, countries are stepping up measures to increase production through replanting and rehabilitating old plantations. New plantations are cultivated in the traditional rubber growing belt alongside emerging rubber producing countries like Cambodia & Philippines. "Malaysia is aiming to make a comeback as the world's largest rubber producer, with the opening of more plantations in Sabah and Sarawak."
Nov 2011, Bernama "The new secretary general of ANRPC has cited the relatively high productivity of the natural rubber industry in the Philippines and foresees further growth in this sector. ANRPC specifically cited Zamboanga and Basilan for its natural conditions which are conducive to cultivation of rubber."
Oct 2011, Rubber Market News Amid the tremendous potential and expanding acreage of natural rubber cultivation, plantation companies are continuously striving to increase yield and productivity.
