Barat Bangka farmers, the province of the Pacific Islands, are required to improve the quality of rubber to keep prices stable. The request was presented the Forestry and Plantation Barat Bangka.
"Many farmers are not able to maintain quality by increasing the use of alum and water mixture, so that low-quality rubber," said Head of Estates on Barat Bangka Dishutbun, Darmono in Muntok, Sunday (20/11).
To maintain a good quality rubber, farmers are expected in the hardened sap of the rubber with the appropriate ratio, which is mixed with ten liters of latex rubber or a mixture of HCl with formic acid content of three percent as much as one liter.
By applying this comparison, he believes, will result in the rubber meets the required standards and thus would keep the market price remains stable.
