Answer:
Rubber is a coherent elastic solid obtained from latex of a number of tropical trees of which Hevea brasiliensis is the most important. Rubber is used for a variety of purposes from erasing pencil marks to manufacturing of tyres, tubes and a large number of industrial products. The first rubber plantations in India were set up in 1895 on the hill slopes of Kerala. However, rubber cultivation on a commercial scale was introduced in 1902.
India is the third largest natural rubber producing country of the world, next to Thailand and Indonesia, producing about 9 per cent of the global output. Almost entire rubber is produced in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
In India, consumption of rubber is almost always higher than the production and the production- consumption gap is likely to widen as the rate of consumption is faster than that of production. The per capita consumption of rubber in India is 0.7 kg only.
Considering the long-term requirements of natural rubber in the country, the rubber board has conducted exploratory surveys and has identified North Eastern region, parts of West Bengal, Orissa, Maharashtra and Karnataka as potential regions of rubber cultivation.
