PETALING JAYA: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) can play a role in helping rubber tappers who are going through rough times due to low prices of rubber, says a Parti Sosialis Malaysia leader.<\/p>\n

Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj said rubber tappers should be encouraged to rear cattle and goats and plant fruit trees, and Fama could then buy the milk, mutton and fruits under a forward contract with tappers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFama can enter into a contract with rubber tappers to buy certain amount of fruits at a specific rate in the future,\u201d he told FMT.<\/p>\n

He said Fama can also gauge the market and advise them accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Fama feels there are too many rambutans, then they can ask the smallholders to plant mangosteen, for instance.\u201d<\/p>\n

These products could then be processed, dried, turned into syrup or juice and marketed worldwide, he said.<\/p>\n

But for this to happen, Jeyakumar said Fama needed an effective marketing team to sell the products globally.<\/p>\n

Fama could also buy diary milk and mutton from them, he said, adding that only 15% of milk and 20% of mutton was produced locally.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis way we increase the local production while helping our rubber tappers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

There were about 200,000 to 300,000 rubber tappers with 3 to 5 acres of rubber trees, he said, adding that some of them earned only about RM1,000 a month.<\/p>\n

He said some tappers were keen on planting fruit trees to earn a side income.<\/p>\n

Some had tried, as previously suggested by the government, to plant langsat or duku.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut these fruits are seasonal fruits and produce yield at the same time, causing fruits to go bad without proper buyers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With a \u201cforward contract\u201d, the tappers would know that a certain amount of their yield could be sold to Fama. This way they could also plan their future yields, he said.<\/p>\n
