A rubber plantation has been set up near the town of Kamalpur under the Tribal rehabilitation program for settling of the Jhum (Shifting Cultivators). As per the status report on a rubber plantation in Tripura, Natural Rubber is obtained from the latex of the tree Hevea Brasilliensis, a tree of Amazonian origin and thrives best in the tropical region. Natural Rubber is the most widely used elastomeric in the world. The natural rubber is used for almost 50,000 goods as industrial raw material. As per the report, the fourth largest consumer of Natural Rubber in the world is India. Initially, due to the inherent nature of the tribal, the entire plantation used to be abandoned within six months.
