NETSCO is pleased to announce the official start of the 2026 natural rubber harvesting season at its 1,000-hectare rubber plantation in Cambodia. This update covers harvesting progress, expected production, and supply plans for partners and customers.
May marks the beginning of the rubber tapping season across many plantations in Southeast Asia, and NETSCO’s plantation is no exception. The 2026 season has officially commenced, with tapping teams fully deployed and harvesting operations gradually reaching a stable pace.
Following the dormant tapping period during the dry season, the rubber trees have entered the rainy season in strong physiological condition. Latex flow has recovered well, resulting in high latex content and stable dry rubber yields—characteristics typically associated with the early harvesting period.
NETSCO’s plantation is cultivated with high-yield rubber varieties, including RRIV1, RRIV114, PB260, and Lai Hoa. These varieties were carefully selected for their suitability to local soil and climate conditions while maximizing latex productivity per hectare.
Based on harvesting performance during the first weeks of the season and current weather conditions, NETSCO projects total production of approximately 2,800–3,100 tons of liquid latex and 400–500 tons of dry rubber throughout the 2026 harvesting season, which is expected to continue until January–February 2027.
Fresh latex is processed and preserved according to strict quality-control procedures before being transferred to processing facilities, ensuring consistent raw material quality for customers and purchasing partners.
With a harvesting cycle of approximately 9–10 months each year, NETSCO maintains a stable and continuous supply of natural rubber throughout the season. This reliability provides a significant advantage for manufacturers and trading partners requiring long-term production planning and consistent raw material availability.
Companies and buyers interested in sourcing natural rubber from NETSCO are welcome to contact our team through the information provided on our website to discuss production volumes, quality specifications, and potential cooperation opportunities.
