Buying Rubber Land: Income vs Firewood Value
Key Takeaways:
- Price: Rs. 2 - 4 Million per Acre (Remote).
- Income: Monthly tapping income is low (Rs. 30,000/acre).
- Exit Strategy: Uprooting trees for firewood/furniture.
Rubber lands are often sold as "bare land value" because the crop is hard to manage.
The Timber Value
If the trees are old (20+ years), you can sell the standing crop to furniture factories.
- Value: Approx Rs. 300,000 - 500,000 per acre for the wood.
Land subdivision
The real money is in buying 10 Acres, clearing the rubber, blocking it out, and selling as residential plots.
Verdict: Buy for the land value, not the crop.
