Natural rubber plays a vital role in the economy of many countries as one of the most important commodities supplying industries as diverse as automotive, foot-ware, and construction. However, deforestation, conversion and biodiversity loss are an important and growing issue in rubber production alongside other common sustainability concerns such as poor working conditions, rising inequality, and land grabbing.
The natural rubber industry, crucial for global economies, faces significant challenges: environmental degradation, poor labor conditions, and a complex, opaque supply chain. Market fluctuations impact smallholder incomes, contributing to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Addressing these requires implementing sustainable practices, ensuring fair wages, and improving working conditions for the millions of smallholders involved.
An App designed by Agriac allows the rubber farmers to pool their crops, thereby increasing their capacity to deliver larger orders, strengthen their negotiating power and enable them to cut out expensive middlemen.
