India’s rubber productions in southern state of Kerala is affected by delayed rains and rising temperature have reported halt in tapping activities .The shortage of supply from this condition has led to a rise in prices recently.
RSS-4 rebounded to Rs 130 a kg after a gap of three months. The price dropped to a level of Rs 119 by the last week of April. Global prices, too, noted an increasing trend compared to last month as Bangkok market on Tuesday quoted Rs 119 a kg. The market had shot up to Rs 121 a kg last week.
A study conducted by Rubber Research Institute of India (RRII) has found out that occurrence of extreme temperature events are becoming more frequent in recent years in Kottayam, the major rubber growing area in Kerala. Kerala contributes 90 percent of the total rubber production in India. Earlier studies clearly indicated that the increase in atmospheric temperature would adversely affect the rubber production in the traditional rubber growing regions in India.
Since the socio-economic sustainability of the region is highly dependent on rubber cultivation, proper precautions and climate resilient measures may be adopted by the farmers to overcome the adverse effects of temperature stress in rubber cultivation under the changing scenario of climate in this region.
