1. The main objective of this management plan is to ensure an efficient latex production through improved planting of selected clones and tapping system as per FSC Standards while harvesting timber and fuel wood on an annual sustained yield basis.
2. It is also diversifying into other crops in areas that may not be suitable for the rubber trees. These approaches are carried out with consideration of biological diversity conservation and social stability.
3. To meet the people’s basic needs for fuel wood, fodder, timber and other forest product and to contribute to food production through an effective interaction between forestry and farming practices.
4. To protect the land against degradation by soil erosion, floods, landslides and other effects of ecological imbalance.
5. To implement and stabilize existing erosion, improve water quality, increase soil productivity and others.
6. To increased wood production from plantation forest meets domestic and export demand for raw materials, thereby reducing reliance on natural forest extraction.
7. To utilise all arable land that is not used for the growing of rubber by diversifying to the most appropriate commercial crops to enhance land productivity.
8. To obtain periodic revenue from timber production on sustained yield basis, while providing habitat for fauna and flora.
