Investigation Report on the Supply and Demand of Rubber Saplings for the Post-Disaster Recovery of Rubber Plantations in Hainan and Guangdong Provinces After Super Typhoon"Yagi"
The super typhoon"Yagi"has affected 1.745 million mu of rubber plantations in Hainan and Guangdong,and 209500 mu of rubber plantations was required to be replanted.To ensure the smooth replanting of rubber plantations after the disaster,a preliminary survey was conducted on the demand for rubber saplings for post-disaster production recovery in Hainan and Guangdong provinces.The results showed that the regular annual renewal area for rubber plantations in Hainan and Guangdong provinces was between 40,000 to 60,000 mu,and due to the typhoon"Yagi"disaster,the replanting rubber plantation area increased by about 70,000 mu each year for the next three years.Correspondingly,the annual demand for rubber saplings increased by 2.4 million,and the total demand for rubber saplings reached approximately 4 million plants per year.The main rubber varieties demand were'PR107','Reyan 73397'and'Reyan 917',accounting for over 96%of the total demand.Considering the current national-wide rubber sapling producing capacity and supply situation,along with problems existing in the post-typhoon production recovery,suggestions for the next steps were proposed to provide reference for relevant departments.
