Sustainability and macro level performance of India’s natural rubber sector: A few concerns - Economic & Political Weekly - 60(34), Aug 23, 2025: p.13-16
This article examines the sustainability and macro-level performance of India’s natural rubber sector by analysing productivity trends. The estimated model confirms price as a crucial determinant of productivity, influencing farm management and harvesting decisions. The study raises concerns about the sector’s long-term sustainability, given its vulnerability to exogenous market forces. The adverse impact of price volatility underscores the need to evaluate grassroots institutional mechanisms that support farmers during crises.-Reproduced
