Rubber Plantation

The rubber trees take 6 years to grow before they can be tapped for the valuable latex sap. They can then be tapped for 24 years. The workers slice open the bark each night, and allow the white, gooey sap to drip into small pots.

They then harvest the sap before dawn, and take it to the rubber processor. They are paid according to the amount they harvest.
