Rubber Board Research Division finds tapping 5 PM to 8:30 PM boosts yield and income

The Rubber Board Research Division found that changing the traditional tapping schedule can help increase rubber latex yield and raise the income of tappers. The division explained that tapping from 5 PM to 8:30 PM is more effective, according to research findings presented at a meeting with tappers' representatives. This change could also allow tappers to engage in other jobs during the day, addressing concerns about losing other employment opportunities.
