Rubber tree cultivation can also be implemented on farms were another crop is the main focus, thereby diversifying production and increasing productivity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We provide an innovative reforestation model, offering an alternative to the current model in Costa Rica, which has not changed in the last 40 years. It brings a viable, susteinable and productive alternative, with clear economic, social and environmental benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This opportunity becomes more attractive because Costa Rica currently imports 100% of its natural rubber consumption (18K MT per year approximately) and it has national environmental goals that benefit from this type of reforestation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% -
