800,000 HA TO BE DEVOTED TO RUBBER PLANTATION
HCM City (VNA) – As many as 800,000ha will be devoted to rubber plantation with an annual latex production of 1.1 million tones by 2015 under anew plan approved by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
The plan developing rubber cultivation to 2015 with a vision to 2020 will be based
on market needs and on effectively exploiting the advantages of land and other
natural resources in specific regions to ensure sustainable development, according
to the Government.
Under the plan, an additional 70,000ha of rubber will be planted by 2010, raising
the country’s total rubber area to 650,000ha and annual rubber latex output to
800,000 tonnes.
By 2015, the export value of rubber products is expected to reach 1.8 billion USD.
Five years later, the country’s rubber cultivation area will be kept stable at
800,000ha while annual rubber latex output will increase to 1.2 million tones and
the export value, to 2 billion USD, the plan envisages.
Rubber cultivation will be focused in five major regions -- the southeast region,
the Central Highlands region, the southern central coastal region, the northern
central region and northwest provinces.
The Central Highlands will grow and additional 95,000-100,000ha of rubber,
becoming the region with the largest new rubber plantations.
The southeast region, which accounts for the country’s largest rubber
cultivation area at present, will plant an additional 25,000ha.
Total investment outlay for the plan is estimated at 30 trillion VND (1.76 billion
USD).
Under the plan, the Government will continue to provide capital for research
projects that will select and create new hybrid varieties of rubber.
It will also fund projects to import rubber varieties of high yield and quality,
and supply enough seeds for nurseries to meet production demand. Enterprises will
be encouraged to sign contacts with rubber growers to ensure stable consumption of
latex.
The plan seeks to increase investment in latex processing facilities and
production of rubber products in cultivation regions.
Trade promotion activities will be undertaken to expand export markets to boost
sales of rubber products.
The Government will also encourage individuals and organizations to plant rubber,
process latex and produce rubber products.
The Vietnam Rubber Association has been advised to enhance its capacity to support
and create favourable conditions for members as well as protect their legitimate
rights.-Enditem
