Rubber harvesting is the process of collecting latex from rubber trees, primarily the Hevea brasiliensis species. Workers make incisions in the bark of the tree, allowing the milky latex to flow into containers. This latex is then processed to produce natural rubber, which is used in various products like tires and footwear. The harvesting typically occurs in tropical regions where rubber trees thrive. The process requires skill to ensure the tree remains healthy and continues to produce latex for many years. Sustainable practices are essential to balance rubber production with environmental conservation and the well-being of local communities.
