The Rubber Workshop was held primarily to help identify priority problems facing the natural rubber industries of Southeast Asia. The focus was on the processes of structural change which had been occurring in the recent past, especially in the two major producing countries, Malaysia and Indonesia. The roles of research, technology, economic trends and policies were examined, with particular emphasis on their implications for the development of the smallholder rubber sectors. Smallholders now produce the bulk of the world's natural rubber whereas the plantation sectors had this distinction less than 25 years ago.

A recent study on social returns to investment in rubber research in Peninsular Malaysia provides further confirming evidence of the 'uncommonly' high returns from agriculturalresearch investment (Pee,1977). The high returns to the industry aside, an important consideration is the distribution of research benefits between the two producing sectors, estates and smallholdings. Here the results, although not unexpected, were disappointing. The estate sector received by far the major share of the research benefits from rubber research. The principal factor was the lag in adoption of research innovations, particularly high yielding materials, by the smallholding sector.

RISDA now incorporates several supporting programmes to ensure successful replanting. There are related to the supply of improved agricultural inputs, cover cropping, intercropping, adoption of improved processing techniques, and provision of credit facilities. The process of modernisation of the small-holder sector has also been efectively initiated with the introduction of small-holder training programmes on planting techniques, efficient tapping methods and better husbandry. The systematic implementation of these programmes has also been matched by a natural growth of an efficient extention service. This paper highlights the strategy adopted by RISDA in its approach to the replanting programme. [Author's abstract].
