<strong>ETP</strong> ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />
Entry Point Projects<br />
To ensure only high yielding and quality planting materials are<br />
planted, among the key initiatives identified include verification<br />
of clones in source bush nurseries, establishment of Malaysian<br />
Rubber Budwood Centres, as well as adoption of good<br />
agricultural practices and formation of cooperatives among<br />
smallholders. These key initiatives were developed to ensure<br />
that only high yielding and quality materials are planted.<br />
The Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) has developed plans to<br />
establish Malaysian Rubber Budwood Centres in Penampang<br />
(Sabah), Similajau (Sarawak), Bukit Kuantan (Pahang), Sg Sari<br />
(Kedah) and Kota Tinggi (Johor) over the next three years.<br />

Ensuring Sustainability of<br />
the Upstream Rubber Industry<br />
To date, rubber plants in 84 nurseries have been inspected<br />
by MRB for elimination of rogue clones to ensure that only<br />
recommended quality clones are planted in the country by<br />
smallholders and estate companies. This sets the foundation<br />
to complement the replanting and new planting initiatives<br />
implemented under EPP 2.<br />
This EPP aims to generate an incremental GNI of RM3.11 billion<br />
in 2020<br />
To ensure sustainability of the rubber industry, the Government<br />
has decided to accelerate replanting and encourage new planting<br />
of rubber areas with grants provided for smallholders. Application<br />
forms are made available in all MRB, RISDA, LIGS and JPS offices<br />
nationwide.<br />
This EPP targets to replant 40,000 hectares annually and to plant<br />
18,000 hectares of new rubber areas over the next five years<br />
with advisory services to be provided by the Malaysian Rubber<br />
Board (MRB). By accelerating the replanting and new planting<br />
of rubber areas, this will bring significant positive impact to<br />
the rubber industry as it is important for the stability of supply<br />
from the upstream sector to continue supporting the midstream<br />
rubber processing plants and downstream rubber product<br />
manufacturing plants.<br />
This EPP aims to generate an incremental GNI of RM3.24 billion<br />
in 2020.
