Agronomic and socio-economic options for rubber intercropping in Sri Lanka: A forward analysis in the Moneragala and Ampara regions
Natural rubber is considered a strategic material for the development of Sri Lanka by the Ministry for Plantations. In response to climate change, the country has adopted a policy focusing on resilience and sustainable development. It is in this context that Ksapa initiated the RIVER project in 2022, aiming to develop a program to strengthen agricultural capacity in Sri Lanka. To carry out this project, the company commissioned YAPI Expertise to provide agroforestry intercropping models based on rubber trees with good agronomic performance and economically of interest to producers to diversify their sources of income. The RIVER project is implemented in two districts in south-eastern Sri Lanka: Moneragala and Ampara. This study began with an analysis of the literature in order to select crops that could be intercropped with rubber. In parallel, 80 interviews, prepared by YAPI Expertise, were conducted in the field by a local organisation, LOAM. The aim of these interviews was to identify rubber intercrop models already implemented in the study areas and to understand the reasons why farmers adopted these models. The interviews were analysed statistically by MCA and Chi². By combining these with the literature review, the study established 5 models (Pineapple model, Cocoa model, Banana model, Passion fruit model, Soursop model) for several intercrops that could be planted with rubber, with potential for adoption by local farmers. Finally, selection criteria were established for each model. Both their strong and weak points are presented, since an effective model cannot rely on agronomic analysis alone and it will be essential to adapt the choice of crops to the local market and to farmers' needs.
