Conclusion and recommendation
The study has revealed that there was high variability and
decreasing trend of rainfall during the period (19712009).
High rubber production of 155,000 tonnes was
recorded in 1991 while the lowest production of 45,000
tonnes was recorded in 1980 and 1983. Rubber production
is inversely correlated with rainfall. The study therefore
recommend that protective water proof containers
should be used for collection of latex during raining
