    First few minutes of this documentary fills me with NOSTALGIA man.

    There was a rubber tree at a corner of our yard and me and grand pops used to tap the tree time to time and there was a coconut shell 🥥 placed below that cut of the tree. Loved that smell coming via latex.

    Ah, I was loving to collect the solid state of latex that formed along the cut path of the rubber tree and smell it afterwards and keep it in my pocket.

    And also I was enjoying seeing the latex droplets 💧 collects into the coconut shell and when no one is around I love it touch it and feel that liquid latex. ( I was being scolded if i got caught 😅 )

    Thank you for bringing this sweetest nostalgic memory. Now the grandpa has gone, That tree has dead, Busy boring retarded complex life. I miss those days of my childhood.

    Yep, I've witnessed it.
    Massive rubber estates have been cutting down and constructing hotels / restaurants or other buildings in it, IDK how they get the governmental approvements. Most of those estates are state owned.

    Rubber plants originated in South America, and before the 20th century most of the world's rubber demand was supplied by those South American estates. But there was blight (a fungal disease) that completely destroyed those rubber estates. And this gave us, the South and Southeast Asian countries to export rubber and supply for the global demand. However, if those blight spores reached our region, that could completely destroy the world's only supply of the natural rubber. There are some industries, such as aircraft tire manufacturing and medical applications, that completely rely on this natural rubber as the main resource. If those resources are destroyed, the world will face a massive problem. And there's no good artificial substitute for natural rubber.

    Original Quality products are much higher than fake artificial products. But, the Quality is superb.

    Yes, according to the video, there are synthetic rubbers that exist, but none of these have the versatility and characteristics of natural rubber. If someone can invent something that replaces the natural rubber, he can be very wealthy.
