Indian government is in the process of launching an insurance scheme for the plantation sector, including rubber, which would cover price fluctuations among other perils, with premium shared by the Centre, State governments and beneficiaries. The primary aim is to make things here and sell them everywhere underlying the ‘Make in India’ vision of the Prime Minister.
This key announcement was made at the India Rubber Meet 2016 in Goa, the yearly event organized by the Rubber Board in partnership with stakeholder associations in rubber and related sectors.
