The Rubber Board is initiating steps to ensure the quality of sheet rubber produced by rubber growers and its conformity to international grading standards. These steps are being taken as complaints are received from certain quarters about poor quality of sheet rubber available in the market and to ensure quality wise price to the growers for their produce. To improve grading standards, regional training programmes will be arranged for rubber dealers and their graders from this month onwards under the direct supervision and guidance of Director (Processing & Product Development), Rubber Board. Different standard grades of rubber sheets will be exhibited in these training programmes for familiarisation.
