  Harvesting is one of the most important practices in a rubber plantation.  It is an accepted fact that the quality of tapping has been deteriorated to a level that it has started to threaten the sustainability of the rubber plantations today.  We strongly believe that  training programmes for latex harvesters and field staff on quality tapping through close supervision and follow up programmes will help to lessen the gravity of  this problem. readmore>>
