From farm to export
- Tapping — latex collected from rubber trees.
- Processing — made into sheets, crumb or concentrate.
- Export — sold to tyre and industrial buyers in dollars.
Why dollars matter to farmers
Rubber prices are set on global markets in dollars, so a grower’s naira earnings move with the price and the exchange rate — the same economics as cashew export. Reviving plantations could lift export earnings.
