Rubber plantations and rural area along the way to Chimmony dam and wildlife sanctuary located near Chalakudy in Trichur district of Kerala. The rubber plantation is one of the important economic crop of Kerala mainly cultivated in the hilly regions and said to be the largest supplier of rubber in India.
The rubber is reaped by rubber tappers by making a long curving cut on the external bark of the main stem of rubber tree. Usually the rubber milk or syrup is collected in coconut shells which is fastened to rubber tree. Besides rubber trees other plants grown by the side are cashew, areca nut and spices like pepper. Kerala’s blooming economy is getting enormous drive from the rubber plantations.
