The minister said a lot of efforts were being made by the government to revamp the production of natural rubber to divert the economy from over dependency on crude oil.
He added that more needed to be done to ensure sustainable development and industrialisation of the sector, such as the need for collaboration between government and the organised private sector to develop the industry by setting up small to medium scale factories that would produce rubber into value added products.
