Tripura: India’s Second-Largest Rubber Producer
Tripura has grown into India’s second-largest natural rubber producer, thanks to expansion initiatives and government-backed plantation projects. Rubber cultivation has been a key driver of Tripura’s economic growth.
The state contributes about 9% of India’s total rubber production, second only to Kerala.
The State Forest Department first introduced rubber plantations in 1963, and since then, Tripura has emerged as a major player in the industry.
