Agartala, Nov 19: Natural rubber has emerged as a major contributor to Tripura\u2019s rural development and employment generation, Industries and Commerce Minister Santana Chakma said on Tuesday.
Speaking at the National Award Ceremony of the Rubber Board\u2019s electronic trading platform mRube at Pragna Bhavan, she noted that the state government has strengthened the sector through multiple interventions, including approval for genetically modified rubber, quality-improvement programmes, support for smoke-house units, and large-scale expansion under the Chief Minister\u2019s Rubber Mission.
The Minister added that the central schemes implemented through the Rubber Board\u2014ranging from subsidies and free training to drone-assisted disease control and labour welfare initiatives\u2014have further empowered growers and industries across the state.
Rubber Board Executive Director M. Vasanthagesan said the mRube portal has ensured transparent and efficient trading for rubber growers. He informed that over 60,000 hectares in Tripura have been brought under new plantations through the INROAD scheme. Emphasising the importance of quality, he urged producers to focus on improved processing to secure better market prices.
Industries and Commerce Secretary Kiran Gitte highlighted the significant role of natural rubber in Tripura\u2019s GDP growth.
