In the first semester of this year, the production of rubber from PT Bakrie Sumatera Plantations (Tbk) increased 23 percent, up to 10,740 tons compared to the same period of time last year amounting to 8,770 tons.

Productivity of the land increased 9 percent, from 1,220 tons per ha to 1,330 tons per ha.
