Résumé : The initial target countries in 2022 were Indonesia and Cambodia. In Indonesia, agroforestry possibilities and practices vary significantly across the country's main rubber-producing regions, with smallholders showing keen interest. It's crucial to blend or merge more traditional concepts like jungle rubber with evidence-based structured agroforestry forms. In Cambodia, there's no historical development of RAS by local farmers, except for some intercropping during the immature period. Most rubber areas have few other perennial crop opportunities (pepper, banana, cashew nuts). The situation in Côte d'Ivoire is similar to Cambodia, with no RAS development. Additionally, there are no significant climatic constraints (a dry season of 3 to 5 months leading to potential severe water competition between rubber and associated trees as in Cambodia, Burma, or eastern Sri Lanka), meaning not all potential RAS models need to consider climatic constraints as of now.
