HOW TO HELP THE RUBBER CULTIVATORS IN THE COUNTRY



The Central Government without any much financial burden can help the rubber cultivators. What the rubber growers want is not grant, subsidy or any such help. They want a reasonable price for their rubber. This can be given if a suitable demand comes up. Yes, it is already there, not to create one. If the government take a decision to mix rubber with tar for road construction all over the country, huge demand will come up for rubber. The demand will naturally increase the price of rubber.

By using the rubberised asphalt the road will have considerable durability, reduced maintenance demand, added safety and noise reduction. Therefore, in a short period of time the government can recoup the higher payment and soon can save considerable sum from other factors.

However, there is likely to be some resistance by some people on this proposal. Government may deal with such situation, if arises. Alongwith with this the government can use the Rubber Board to conduct research across the country to find alternative or fresh application for rubber. Also can be found wherever plastic can be replaced with rubber. If properly dealt with these aspects, the rubber cultivators across the country can be made happy.
