RE: Have you ever been to a rubber Plantation before?

in STEEM FOR BETTERLIFE2 years ago

Sri Lanka also has considerable amount of rubber plantation. It's the third main crop other than tea and coconut. It's amazing to know that Nigeria is the largest producer in the world.

We also have around 200 trees. My father has planted them around 9 years ago and now we are taking the milk. It's a good income actually. Can I know the plant that they have grown in between the trees. Because there are a lot of weeds in our land, it's very irritating

Sort:  
 2 years ago 

Oh, that's good to know...

well, Nigeria is just one of the top countries producing that.., and it's good to know about your country too. Your Father planting it 9 years ago was a great idea....., do you export to other countries?

Actually, the plant in between is just the rubber tree growing again from the matured seeds that fall off, so they Germinate again.

And what the farmers there do is that, once it germinates and grows to a certain stage, they will uproot it and plant it serially and at a preferred location within that environment.


I picked few seeds
