The natural rubber industry in Sri Lanka
The natural rubber industry in Sri Lanka, Travel guide to Sri Lanka
Travel Videos (Subscribe Now) ????
The natural rubber industry in Sri Lanka is one of the enduring colonial legacies that is providing sustained socio- economic benefits to the country, even today.
Started in 1876, with the planting of 1,919 rubber seedlings at the Henerathgoda Botanical Gardens in Gampaha, Sri Lankan that became the origin of an uninterrupted and profitable supply chain of an agricultural commodity, Sri Lankan natural rubber has since acquired the status of an industrial raw material with a global significance.
The rubber industry links the traditional tree crop agriculture with sophisticated industrial manufacturing in a strongly interdependent manner that has made both the sectors more stable and competitive in the global market place.
Sri Lanka has a well established natural rubber industry with a well organized infrastructure comprising of all supporting institutes in public and private sector. Rubber Research Institute (RRI) of Sri Lanka is one of the oldest research institute for rubber in the world. Moreover Sri Lankan rubber sector is the third largest export earner of the country providing over 300,000 direct and indirect job opportunities to Sri Lankans across various professions and walks of life.
Rubber trees are grown systematically and re-planting programmes are carried out continuously in keeping with the recommendations of RRI. Sri Lankan rubber plantations mainly consist of many small holders as well as bigger rubber plantations that are managed by well established companies. There are already a number of international rubber manufacturers with state of art manufacturing units utilising the availability of premium quality rubber, in Sri Lanka.
The traditional rubber growing areas of Sri Lanka is located mainly in the wet zone in a land extent of 127,500 hectares. The country's traditional rubber growing districts include Colombo, Gampaha, Kalutara, Kandy, Matale, Galle, Matara, Kurunegala, Rathnapura, and Kegalle.
Yet with the introduction of a series of new rubber clones by RRI, that can withstand the dry weather, dry non – traditional regions of Sri Lanka too have become locations of interest to local rubber growers.
The International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) too financed 5000 hectares of rubber small holder plantations in Monaragala district while the Sri Lankan Government has taken the initiative to expand rubber cultivation in to Hambanthota , Ampara, Vauniya and Multhivu Districts.
Today, the rubber plantations have expanded to nearly 133,668 hectares out of which 85,442 hectares (64%) are contributed by rubber small holder sector. A further, 46,635 hectares (35%) are owned by 20 Regional Plantation Companies and 1,591 hectares (1%) are managed by government Institutions.
By mid 1970s Sri Lanka reached the peak of raw rubber production with an annual output of over 155,000 metric tons to become the fourth largest rubber producer in the world. By the year 2011 rubber production recorded 158,000 metric tons although many rubber producing countries increased their production volume during the same period excluding Malaysia and few African Countries.
In 2014, Sri Lanka was in the sixth position among the global natural rubber producers and exported almost all types of natural rubber available in the market including ribbed smoked sheet rubber, latex crepe rubber, scrap crepe, all grades of technically specified rubber, centrifuged latex and speciality rubbers.
Rubber Products manufacturing is done in locations where main factors of production including value added raw material, technological inputs, necessary logistics, and export facilities can be easily accessed. Industrial Zones in Katunayake, Ekala, Biyagama, and Sapugaskanda have attracted many rubber related industries including large Foreign Direct Investments. (FDIs) into rubber sector.
While Gampaha and Kalutara districts too have large factories set up by local firms, recent years have seen the expansion of large rubber manufacturing facilities to Southern Sri Lanka, specially in Galle and Matara District and the increasing availability of rubber and the new infrastructure development is expected to extend rubber manufacturing facilities up to Hambanthota and Monaragala districts. Meanwhile Ampara and Trincomalee districts too have potential to attract direct investments for rubber manufacturing facilities.

Sri Lanka,ශ්රී ලංකා,Ceylon,Galle,Old market at night (01)
An old market place in the center of Galle town. The busy day is over and the last merchants are peacefuly packing their products. But still a few shops are open to sell some vegetables to late customers.
About Galle: Galle (Sinhala: ගාල්ල;Tamil: காலி) (pronounced as one syllable in English, /ˈɡɔːl/ Gaul, and as two in Sinhalese, [ɡaːlːə]) is a city situated on the southwestern tip of Sri Lanka, 119 km from Colombo. Galle is the capital city of Southern Province of Sri Lanka and it lies in Galle District.
Galle was known as Gimhathiththa (although Ibn Batuta in the 14th century refers to it as Qali) before the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, when it was the main port on the island. Galle reached the height of its development in the 18th century, during the Dutch colonial period. The major river is Gin River (Gin Ganga) which starts from Gongala Kanda and passing villages such as Neluwa, Nagoda, Baddegama, Thelikada, and Wakwella, reaches the sea at Ginthota. In Wakwella over the river there is Wakwella Bridge, which is the longest bridge in Sri Lanka.Galle is the best example of a fortified city built by Europeans in south and southeast Asia, showing the interaction between European architectural styles and south Asian traditions. The Galle fort is a world heritage site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers. Other prominent landmarks in Galle include the natural harbor, the National Maritime Museum, St. Mary's Cathedral founded by Jesuit priests, one of the main Shiva temples on the island, and Amangalla the historic luxury hotel.
Galle is the main city in the most southerly part of the island, with a population of around 100 000, and is connected by rail to Colombo and Matara. On 26 December 2004 the city was devastated by the massive Boxing Day Tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake that occurred a thousand miles away, off the coast of Indonesia. Thousands were killed in the city alone. Galle is home to a cricket ground, the Galle International Stadium, rebuilt after the tsunami. Test matches resumed there on December 18, 2007.Galle offers a unique opportunity to create a visible demonstration of the conservation of its inheritance. Galle is also an exciting, internationally famous visitor destination.HistoryAccording to James Emerson Tennent, Galle was the ancient seaport of Tarshish, from which King Solomon drew ivory, peacocks and other valuables.Cinnamon was exported from Sri Lanka as early as 1400 BC and the root of the word itself is Hebrew, so Galle may have been a main entrepot for the spice.Galle had been a prominent seaport long before western rule in the country. Persians, Arabs, Greeks, Romans, Malays, Indians, and Chinese were doing business through Galle port. In 1411, the Galle Trilingual Inscription, a stone tablet inscription in three languages, Chinese, Sinhala and Persian, was erected in Galle to commemorate the second visit to Sri Lanka by the Chinese admiral Zheng He.The modern history of Galle starts in 1505, when the first Portuguese ship, under Lourenço de Almeida was driven there by a storm. However, the people of the city refused to let the Portuguese enter it, so the Portuguese took it by force.In 1640, the Portuguese had to surrender to the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch built the present Fort in the year 1663. They built a fortified wall, using solid granite, and built three bastions, known as Sun, Moon and Star. After the British took over the country from the Dutch in the year 1796, they preserved the Fort unchanged, and used it as the administrative centre of Galle.
