INDONESIAN MODERN RUBBER AGRICULTURE PROCESS | NATURAL RUBBER FROM BEGINNING TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT
Hello engineering friends,
Indonesian rubber plantation commodities are one of the mainstays for Indonesia's national income and foreign exchange. Friends need to know, Indonesian rubber production occupies the 2nd largest rubber producer in the world after Thailand, which contributes 23.44% or an average of 3.37 million tons. However, in addition to modern touches and continuous research, the process of agriculture or rubber plantations is still dominated by 80% with the marketing of traditional rubber commodities, which is characterized by a long marketing chain that causes low prices received by farmers. On the other hand, the low price of rubber received by farmers causes farmers to be less motivated to produce quality raw rubber. In addition, middlemen who buy the same price between good and bad quality make farmers more reluctant to follow the quality of SNI. The quality of raw rubber itself is determined by the amount of contaminants present, as well as. Water content in the bokar. At this time, engineering technology will invite you to see the process of rubber plantations from upstream to downstream. This video is the result of a collaboration with Heveaconnect, a Singapore-owned natural rubber company, and Arpico, a natural rubber latex mattress and pillow manufacturer.
