Background of the following presentation by the experts. The achievement of Kerala natural rubber (NR) sector had been widely recognised for the unique features. The distinctive features of the sector are: a near monopoly position in Indias NR production during the past one century, progressive responses of a highly receptive farming community to research and development initiative and the concomitant performance of the sector surpassing the gains else where. The most glittering element among the achievements have been a sustained increase in productivity despite the smallest average operational size of the holdings in the State compared to other major rubber growing regions in India and abroad. The explicit contributory factors for the sustained growth of the sector are reported to be a comparatively stable and remunerative price and a higher net farm income vis-s vis other crops in the State. (George et al., 1988; George 1999; Lekshmi and George, 2003). The proactive interventions during the five decades from 1942 to 1991 had been effective in insulating the domestic market from external competition and ensured a comparatively stable and remunarative price (George and Chandy, 1996; Lekshmi et al., 1996; Mohanakumar and Chandy, 2005). I am not an expert to write like the above sentences, because mathematics cant say the lie. slideshare.net/keralafarmer/rubberstats
