The genetic stock of rubber was introduced to PNG from Malaysia. Some high yielding varieties of rubber were introduced to Cape Rodney and Vanapa areas of the Central Province and the Saramandi/Angoram area of East Sepik Province. Rubber is grown on estate set-ups as well as smallholder blocks. The plantations produce and maintain their own seedlings and clonal materials for planting, while the smallholder blocks obtain their planting materials from the DAL nursery blocks located at each rubber growing areas.
