In Tripura,
Rubber is undoubtedly the most preferred plantation crop and, looking to the
out look of the Rubber in the state, it is expected that it would continue to
be the favorite of the people. This is the general trend as on date as far as
Tripura in concerned.
This is basically due to
profitability of the Rubber compare to other crops. Rubber price of course
fluctuates sometime but stabilizes very shortly due to which confidence on
rubber is still intact.
In the primetime of Rubber, a new
breed of farmers, fairly educated, access of information of surrounding who do
not want to be named as laggard in adopting Rubber Plantation or any thing new
had been thinking for starting with new plantation crop of the stature of
rubber tree.
These so called farmers have been
eying for sandalwood tree plantation in their homestead land. Of course, the
concept of Sandalwood cultivation is very new to the local people but it may
gain momentum if given proper exposure.
Reason, highly prized, rarely
available sandalwood would bring double the income of Rubber from the same unit
area of Rubber within the period of fifteen to sixteen years. Moreover, once
established, it requires less maintenance like Rubber.
Their expectation is, an acre of
sandalwood tree plantation with a plant population of 400 to 500 would make
fortune of rupees seven to eight lakhs or even more within 15 years of
plantation. But the problem with the sandalwood trees as apprehended by the
people is:
1)
Seedling is available only in the government nursery.
2)
Cost of seedling is much more costly than that of
Rubber Seedling.
3)
Sandalwood tree is semi parasitic so host plant would
be required in the periphery of Sandalwood tree / Seedling.
4)
Seedling mortality is quite more.
5)
There’s prevalence of theft of sandalwood seedling.
There’s also another hesitation that
sandalwood produced in sub-tropical region with more rainfall and less
prevalent dry spell would yield inferior quality of heartwood in terms of oil
content in the heart wood.
Nevertheless, beginning should not
take further delay. There are plenty of high lands suitable for Sandalwood Tree
cultivation.
Rubber is economical no doubt but
Sandalwood is economical too with aesthetic value that people usually look and
nurture for.
