520 _aThis 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 https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/34/commentary/sustainability-and-macro-level-performance-indias.html
