Increasing education level
The result of this study shows that the level
of education of rubber smallholders is low which
affects the adoption and diffusion process of
biodiversity. Thus, the possible strategies for
improvement of education of rubber smallholders are
(1) providing education opportunities for young
generation through Agricultural Program in Agriculture
and Technology College and also, information cuter
program, (2) establishing Friday Agricultural School
for farmer in villages through local school together
with extension workers. Smallholders should exchange
their ideas and knowledge and also hold discussion
among themselves and with government officers on
a regular basis, and (3) during the rubber production
period, organizing a training course in tapping
techniques for the improvement of latex quality,
marketing strategies, price, as well as, group
processing system for increasing value.
