We started as a rubber plantation scheme in 1972 for the settlement of Sri Lankan repatriates, which was necessitated  by  Sirimao-Sastri Agreement of 1964. This scheme was later converted into a Government Company  and  incorporated on 5/5/1976. Our authorized  share capital is Rs.350  lakhs and our paid up capital is 339.27 lakhs. The share capital contributions of Government of India and Government of Kerala are 40% and 60% respectively.

We have settled 700 repatriate families from Sri Lanka. We provide two members from each family with employment  in  the  company. At  present we have a total of 1167 workers, 197 staff members and 34 Officers in the company.

Our estates cover over 2070 hectares of modern clones scientifically cultivated under the guidance of the Rubber Board. The trees are uniform in growth and free from diseases. Over 452 workers are engaged in tapping and collection of fresh latex. We produce about 2300 MT of centrifuged latex conforming to BIS specifications in our factory.

No wonder , we are no. 1 in  the  plantation  sector  in  India  today.  Having the ISO 9001:2000 certificate , testifying the quality of our process and operations to  be  at  par  with  international standards, we are endeavoring to give what the customer needs  in  the  raw  rubber  market.  Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI) , accredited by the British Council for Accreditation has certified the operations of the company right from the collection of natural rubber latex to its processing into various products and to its marketing.

Professionally managed , we at RPL are on a continuous path of profits-another certificate for efficiency and professionalism in a very competitive market. Our performance during the last five years bear ample testimony to this.
