To promote sustainable and inclusive rubber agroforest businesses, commitment from all relevant stakeholders — including smallholder farmers, government at all levels, NGOs and the private-sector — is needed. Through regulatory support, the government can incentivize farmers to maintain agroforests. However, even with the current lack of interventions from the government, local farmers’ groups have shown high resilience by organizing themselves to improve the system and to develop their business as well, with the support of NGOs. And as a vital part of the rubber supply chain, crumb rubber factories can also play an essential role in supporting rubber agroforests. With initial support from the government and through local collective actions, a rubber agroforestry business is expected to be established, and responsible financial institutions and investors can provide financial support to further develop this business.
