Rubber Production Incentive Activated For July 2025

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- The Rubber Production Incentive (IPG) for cuplump and latex has been activated in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak for July 2025, according to the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB).

In a statement today, the MRB said the IPG would be activated if the average monthly farmgate price for cuplump rubber is at RM3.00 per kilogramme (kg) or below, with the incentive for latex activated concurrently.

In July 2025, the average farmgate price for cuplump was RM2.95 per kg for Peninsular Malaysia, RM2.60 per kg for Sabah and RM2.55 per kg for Sarawak, the statement said.

“The incentive rate for latex is fixed at 90 sen per kg for latex with 100 per cent dry rubber content (DRC)," MRB said.

It also said the activated IPG rate for cuplump and latex in Peninsular Malaysia is five sen for 50 per cent DRC and 10 sen per kg for 100 per cent DRC.

Meanwhile, the rate in Sabah is 40 sen per kg for 50 per cent DRC and 80 sen per kg for 100 per cent DRC, while in Sarawak it is 45 sen per kg and 90 sen per kg, respectively.

MRB said smallholders are eligible to receive IPG payments from Aug 1-31, 2025, based on July 2025 rubber production.
