We specialize in cultivating rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) for natural rubber production. Our plantations span tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Southeast Asia and western Africa. These robust trees have soft wood, high branching limbs, and a large area of bark.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond rubber monocultures. We embrace agroforestry systems, where rubber trees coexist with other useful plants. By intercropping rubber with fruit trees, timber species, shrubs, and medicinal herbs, we enhance ecosystem services and biodiversity. These systems also sequester carbon and diversify farmers’ incomes.
Tree Maturity: Our rubber trees mature over 5 to 7 years. Patience is key as they develop the latex-rich bark.
Tapping: We extract latex by tapping the tree bark. A downward cut at a specific angle releases the milky liquid containing approximately 30% rubber.
Coagulation and Processing: The latex is coagulated and processed into solid products, including tires. Concentrated latex is used for dipped goods like surgical gloves.
We collaborate with local communities, providing employment opportunities and education. By embracing sustainable practices, we ensure a brighter future for both our rubber trees and the people who care for them.
Our commitment extends beyond environmental stewardship. We believe in empowering local communities:
