rubber farming

Rubber farming involves cultivating rubber trees, primarily Hevea brasiliensis, for latex extraction. Farmers plant and care for these trees, which naturally produce a milky sap called latex, used to make products like tires and gloves. The latex is collected by making small cuts in the bark, allowing the sap to flow into containers. Rubber trees require a warm, humid climate and proper management to ensure healthy growth and optimal latex yield. After several years, trees can produce latex for many years, making rubber farming a long-term agricultural investment.
