  • Jim I would really like to talk to you. I am an english guy with a plantation in Issan. I have only 28 rai and at present only 400 trees are large enough to be cropped. I have made some contacts in Europe and I am considering moving into the export business a I think this may be more interesting than the plantation. I cant get a handle on whether there is a better margin to be had from producing sheets than cup lump. I cant find any email address for you mine is dordognebusiness@yahoo.com

  • this guys dont use smokehouse ??

  • Again thanks for posting the videos!

  • Hi, Jim. Where can I get an idea how to assemble these machines. Alsowhat is trhe ratio of latex/water/formic acid to make a cake? Thank you for your input. I love your site!

  • @ruthmbr1 Small machines are available in any hardware store in a rubber area. The bigger ones have to be made to order. depending on your machines and drying shed 2 litres water 3 litres latex, or 1 litre water 4 litres latex. A cup of dilute formic acid is the congealing agent. Jim Email me if you want to know more. Jim

  • @jamescollister i appreciate your response. Just in case, which country do you know has this kind of machines, the bigger ones? But i am planning to start wiith a smaller ones first..

  • @jamescollister Hi Jim, thank you so much for your response. Just in case, which country do you know where I find the bigger machine same as what you have? I am planning first to start with a smaller one .

  • Hi, jim Last week I've been very busy searching videos about rubber tree industry.

    And luckily I've found your videos which I can understand coz it english. Im from the Philippines and Im very interested to learn this industry because I bought a land with rubber trees and planning to put up a small factory for processing. I hope you will give me an update or upload another video again.

  • Hows it going there Jim, hope there's been no more finger accidents with the big roller machines..

    Good to see your still posting the vids

  • @firestangau Still making rubber and made a little profit this month. No more finger accidents, once bitten twice shy. Jim

  • @jamescollister great to hear jim, makes it worthwhile when you make more than just staying afloat, take care mate..

  • How many acres do you have? My relatives have some rubber in sri Lanka and the biggest problem for them is the rainy season. How is the labor cost over there in Thailand?

    Can you get any income in the rainy days?

    Thanks for the video

  • @at0977 About 40 acres and yes the rains mean loss of tapping days. Tappers are paid on a percentage basis, that way a tapper is responsible for the care of his trees. The better he takes care of them the more money he makes.

  • What kind of factories do you supply?

  • @mobilefreek Just sell the rubber to anyone who pays
