Rubber tree
World demands for rubber is big, but hardly met. In our modern times, almost everything has some use for rubber. But no tall places in the world can grow the rubber tree, so it is in our hands to develop and enhance this industry.
Climate
Rubber needs a warm and humid climate (about 30-35’C) and uniform rainfall throughout the
year. It doesn’t like torrents of rain or long dry spells.
Soil
The soil good for rubber is the lowland soil that does not lodge water. It doesn’t grow in
mountainous regions.
