What are the advantages of growing rubber plantation?
Rubber is used in so many things like tires, shoes, hoses, medical equipment etc. Real rubber is in short supply so it was necessary to find a way to make synthetic rubber to meet demand. Petroleum products are used in the process. Growing real rubber can provide a good income because of demand, is healthier for the environment than synthesizing it, and it doesn’t require depletion of petroleum. There are also experiments being done to create a kind of hybrid rubber which will not cause allergic reactions in people that are sensitive.
