Rubber farmers in North Fly District of Western Province will now enjoy an increase in rubber prices.
As of 1st April the farm gate rubber price increased to K2.00 per kilo.
Chairman and North Fly MP, James Donald confirmed this, saying the reason of the increase is self-explanatory as per the Joint Announcement Notice by North Fly Rubber Limited Chairman, Warren Dutton.
“This is the second time in the history of rubber price in North Fly with the previous between 2006 and 2007.
“Imagine the weight of 1000 kilograms will see farmers earn K2,000, “said MP Donald.
He said economically, farmers will benefit to meet other daily cost like paying school fees and medical expenses.
Donald said the North Fly DDA will continue to support the work of North Fly Rubber Limited (NFRL) in promoting the sustainable growth of rubber in the electorate.
“We will continue to improve with the aim to break the poverty cycle in every village, homes and families,” said MP Donald.
North Fly District in Western Province is one area in the country heavily involved in rubber production over the course of the past 5 years.
