Abstract: There are state-owned and privately-owned rubber plantations in Malaysia, of which most of them are privately owned. In Malaysia, most rubber gardens are small, and the ratio of small rubber gardens to large rubber plantations is approximately 10:1. In Malaysia, the plating area of rubber trees was only 4 200 ha in 1900, 1.30 million ha in 1961, and 1.07 million ha in 2014. It was the highest in 1978, up to 1.89 million ha. It was the lowest in 2010, only 1.02 million ha. The per unit area yield of rubber in Malaysia was 6 074 hg/ha in 1961 and 6 274 hg/ha in 2014. The maximum 10 285 hg/ha appeared in 1987, while the minimum 5 492 hg/ha appeared in 1999. The per unit area yield of rubber in Malaysia fluctuated greatly. Rubber yield in Malaysia was 790 000 in 1961, and it was the highest in 1988 (1.66 million t) and the lowest in 2014 (670 000 t).
