บทคัดย่อ (EN): Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) is one of the leading export crops in the Sri Lankan economy, and at present contributes 0.4 percent to GDP. The marked drop in rubber prices during the recent past resulted diversification of rubber lands to other crops, especially in the smallholding sector. Further, decrease in total production too was observed as 155,000 mt in 1978 to 104,000 mt in 2005. However, the present situation is relatively favourable as rubber prices show a gradual increase. Despite such adverse consequences, the government of Sri Lanka introduced a rubber development programme in the smallholding sector through community based organizations (CBOS), - thurusaviya. It mainly focused on improving the production and product quality of rubber smallholders by providing; marketing facilities, technical know-how, materials at concessionary rates, loans for building and renovation of smoke houses, and orienting product development at a small scale. However, after of spell of time criticisms were leveled on this institutional intervention, especially on its achievements. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the impact of CBOS and moreover to understand the constraints in the stage of implementation. The study employed Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques such as institutional analysis, pair-wise ranking to ascertain data. One of the major rubber growing districts in the country- Kalutara was selected as the study location. Next, eleven CBOSnamelyMorapitiya, Galpatha, Millewa, Govinna, Yatigampitiya. Kitulgoda, Paraduwa, Hadapangoda. Thudugala, Bolossagama and Payagala were selected on stratified random sampling method. The results based on the institutional analysis indicate that satisfaction of the smallholders on membership and welfare, awareness, effective links with relevant institutions, supply of inputs and credit, and arrangements made for marketing are not efficient as expected. However, effort made by the office bearers and financial situation of CBOS stand at a satisfactory level. The results of the pair- wise ranking revealed that most pressing limitations in the smallholding sector is malfunctioning of marketing channels. Moreover, poor contribution from the policy makers, less sponorships from the state, efficiency of office bearers, false promises, etc are also highlighted. In all, the performance of CBOS established through thurusaviyaprogramme still has not focused to satisfy the needs of the rubber smallholders, and therefore, urgent re-orientation is warranted.
