บทคัดย่อ (EN): Rubber is one of the plantation crops in Sri Lankan economy,and the income is mainly being generated by its latex production. However, after the productive life span of the tree, it provides fuel and raw material for timber industry. Rubber wood can be considered as sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly wood resource to substitute hardwood requirement in furniture and other wood works. This study was undertaken to reveal the present status of rubber wood industry, and moreover to identify the constraints and prospects of rubber wood industry. The investigation executed in one of the main rubber growing districts of the country – Kalutara. The main stakeholders of the rubber wood industry, smallholders, contractors, primary processing unit and, secondary processing units were selected to include in the sample as 110, 17, 23, and 3, respectively. Data were gathered from four stakeholder categories using different questionnaires. The Kalutara district is covered by 08 Rubber Extension Officers (REOs). The total rubber extent in the district amounts to 13,332 ha this claims a share of 26 percent of the rubber extent in the country. The study revealed that rubber wood marketing chain operates at five levels 1) smallholders 2) log contractors 3) fuel wood utilizing industries (tea factories, tile kilns, bakeries, RRS production), saw mills and private companies 4) chemical treatment and seasoning units and 5) rubber wood based product manufacturing units. The uprooting decision was mainly governed by replanting (48%). However, 39 percent and 13 percent of the smallholders stated that the above decision was taken due to low latex yield and to receive an income from timber, respectively. As the district accounts for 13,332 ha of rubber, the uprooted area per annum will be approximately 400 ha. This will produce rubber wood volume of 42,800 m3 (107 m3 x 400) per year. However, the uprooting activity highly rests on the rubber prices as smallholders tend to delay the uprooting decision if the rubber prices are attractive. The study investigated the existing uses of rubber wood. Traditionally rubber wood has been used as energy source for domestic cooking and also for obtain heat for different industries. Next, this resource is being utilized for swan wood industry, ply wood industry, furniture manufacturing, lingo-plastic wood production, hardboard production, manufacture of safety matchers, wood plup marking for paper production, mushroom cultivation, etc. Hence, potential is great for rubber wood utilization despite the traditional use as an energy source. The main constraints identifiedwere, 1) shortage of rubber wood 2) environmental pollution by saw dust, 3) incorrect uprooting time, 4) unawareness of high latex and timber producing clones and 5) consumers attitude on the durability of treated rubber products. In order to obtain more economic benefits from rubber wood industry two main recommendations can be highlighted. First, technological improvements should be introduced to the industry. Second, income generation by rubber wood should be included in the mandate of rubber extension service, especially in the smallholder sector.
