Smallholder share of Thai rubber output
~85-90%
An estimated 85-90% of Thailand's rubber output comes from smallholder farms averaging 3-5 rai of plantation. The remaining 10-15% is from corporate-managed estates. RAOT's farmer registration database covers ~1.5-1.8 million rubber-farming households. The fragmented ownership structure limits supply discipline and amplifies price volatility at the farmgate compared to more consolidated producer countries.
