บทคัดย่อ (EN): Natural rubber expansion in Southern Philippines in the past two decades was terri-bly slow owing to the longer gestation period of the crop before a farming household could get harvests. In Zamboanga Peninsula region where majority of the rubber plan-tation of the country are located, expansion to new areas was only one percent (1%) until 2001. This was because 70% of the farms are small-holdings (average of 3-5 ha.), and therefore farmers preferred to grow crops that can provide immediate source of food and income. In 2003, the rubber - based farming system (RBFS) has been pro-moted in the region though participatory action research. These rubber intercropping practices was proven in providing improved farm productivity and profitability. People’ s organizations were tapped in the implementation process which facilitated the tech-nology diffusion, sustainability, and the operarionalization of other rubber-based com-munity livelihood projects. Intercroopping of other high value crops gave significant production and income during the 1st five years of the plantation. Results showed that intercropped rubber farms grew faster and harvested a year earlier than monocrop farms or the convention-al farmer’s practice. Harvesting started on the 5th year in R B F S, while monocrop farms harvesting started on the 6th year. Average yield of RBFS is 2,269.2 kg/ha/yr dry rubber while 2,084 kg/ha dry rubber in monocrop farms. Farmers’ net income reached to Php 393,547(US$9,152) With Return on Capital (R O C) of 299.88% while monocrop rubber is only Php 249,996.00 (US$5,813.9) and an ROC of 150.61%. RBFS obtained excellent Marginal Benefit Cost Ratio (MBCR) of 2.99 As of 2011, there were 278 farmers in the locality and adjacent areas expanding rubber plantation adopting the technology. These farmers adopted the full package of rubber-based farming system; availed good quality planting materials produced from the farm project and acquired rubber budsticks utilizing the unwanted branches of the rubber trees. Family labor was primarily utilized in various farm activities, while three additional jobs per hectare per year are hired to complement activities on production, plantation maintenance and harvesting.
