What are the comparative advantages of contributing to Worldview Impacts rubber plantation?
• We will carefully select the highest yield rubber trees, with a mix of various clones, to secure the most sustainable plantation practices. The project’s concept of 100% organic agricultural methods, will add maximum carbon absorption value, in addition to avoiding the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides made of carbon based raw materials. According to Dr. N. Yoganathan, from the National Institute of Plantation Management, Sri Lanka, organic technologies used in rubber plantations slow down soil carbon oxidation and increases carbon fixation and storage, providing maximum benefit of the project. Another competitive advantage of our business is the carbon benefits that we will gain from the project. Furthermore, our aim is to establish value added benefits to the raw material from rubber tapping – such as production of medical gloves and other dipped products – which will further increase the economic benefits of the project for the local population, as well as the investors.
