Slackness in rubber planting drive

摘要

ANRPC anticipates only a marginal increase in new planting and replanting activities of rubber in 2016. Indonesia may undertake new planting in an additional 3,000 ha, taking the total area under new planting to 18,000 hectares in 2016, while its total replanting area is expected to remain stagnant at 45,000 ha. While Malaysia's new planting drive may come to almost a standstill, it may increase its replanting area from 35,700 ha. in 2015 to 40,000 ha. in 2016.
