Guangdong province to increase output capacity of natural rubber
The General Office of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province has issued the Implementation Plan for Establishing Functional Area of Food Production and Protection Area of Key Agricultural Product in Guangdong.
According to the plan, the national government requests Guangdong government to allocate 13.5 million mu as functional area of food production (all for growing rice) and 600,000 mu as protection area of key agricultural product (all for growing natural rubber).
Accordingly, Guangdong government schedules to pilot the program in major grain planting counties in 2017, promote the program comprehensively in 2018, and complete the program by the end of 2019.
In addition, the province will strive to complete the establishment of the two types of areas in five years, in a bid to increase natural rubber output capacity and to ensure efficient supply.
