Kuala Lumpur: The Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) has announced that the Rubber Production Incentive (IPG) is inactive in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak for February, and therefore, no payments will be made for this month.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the MRB stated that the average farmgate prices for cuplump in February 2025 were RM3.85 per kilogramme (kg) in Peninsular Malaysia, RM3.50 per kg in Sabah, and RM3.40 per kg in Sarawak.

The MRB clarified that the IPG would be activated if the average monthly farmgate price for cuplump rubber is at RM3.00 per kg or below. If the cuplump’s IPG is activated, the IPG for latex will also be activated. The IPG rate for latex is fixed at 90 sen per kg for latex with 100 percent Dry Rubber Content.

The board also noted that the IPG would be paid to all eligible Malaysian rubber smallholders when activated.
