Natural rubber is not just a commodity - it’s a lifeline for over a million smallholders in India. In the lush landscapes of Kerala, small-scale rubber farmers are redefining rubber production through sustainable forestry practices.

This video follows the inspiring transformation of rubber plantations in Kottayam that are now FSC-certified - a transition made possible with support from Alleppey Latex, a leading producer of rubber-based products, and audits conducted by Preferred by Nature.

Watch how FSC is helping communities and forests thrive together.
