The Billion Dollar Rubber industry of Sri Lanka (4K)

In this video we take you on an epic journey to learn how rubber is harvested and value-added in Sri Lanka to meet the worlds increasing demand for rubber products.
From seedling to tapping to create the final product in this video we partnered with Dipped Products PLC to show you how this industry has evolved over the past century in Sri Lanka.
If you enjoyed this video make sure to check out the rest of our industries series for more inspirational stories of Sri Lankan export industries.
Special thanks to our partners DPL for helping us make this video

I hope my wish comes true and I can leave Switzerland in 15 years to live in Sri Lanka 🙃 its such a beautiful country ❤

[@vijayafernando1]

Welcome to Sri Lanka. I used to know a girl from Zurich. Her parents welcomed my dad and me to Zurich airport for a drink and a snack. Her father was a Swissair pilot so we did not need to go through immigration. I hope you are able to fulfill your wish

[@MaheshWaruna]

Beautiful srilanka

[@DippedProductsPLC_SL]

We at DPL couldn't agree more, Shenelle! "The milk that runs the world" perfectly captures the essence of Sri Lankan latex! It's been an honor partnering with you to showcase this incredible journey, from the "golden milk" to the innovative solutions used globally. We're thrilled for the world to discover this story.

[@vijayafernando1]

My cousin Supala Fernando was director of dipped products

[@NetITGeeks]

Another outstanding documentary on Sri Lanka by Sheneller. You have well research and high quality clips on this channel. Thank you!

[@Sheneller]

Many thanks! Lots more to come soon. :)

[@NetITGeeks]

@@Sheneller Looking forward to it!

[@vijayafernando1]

I am nearly 70 years old and learned about rubber as a child in the 1960's and my cousin was working in DPL but never learnt so much than your video. My grand mother was a Rodrigo too originally from Matara

[@nayanadissanayaka6117]

Rubber cultivation is currently being expanded in the Anuradhapura district. There are still farmers in Anuradhapura who are getting a good harvest

[@Sheneller]

That is great to hear!

[@ishankawimalaweera]

As a researcher on rubber industry wastewater treatment, it's really great to see such informative video on Sri Lankan rubber industry.... Thank you Sheneller and the crew.

[@GhoomneChalo]

Hello Shenelle, if you remember I visited Sri Lanka and made some vlogs and I am still posting 1 every week. I would like to give lots of Love to all the lovely people from Sri Lanka, who showered love and helped us on our visit and vlogs, FYI, I got more comments from Srilankans than Indian.

[@victornaesens]

Amazing video Shenelle! I really like the cinematic way of film making. Love from Belgium ❤

[@mahendraperera7688]

I grew up in the wilderness of rubber trees. We had a small plantation of 0.25 acres of rubber. Used to love those trees. Their leaves would sway in the cool wind with a subtle hum. We used rubber branches for firewood. Rubber sap was pure white and the smell I used to love. We used rubber sap as gum as well. In the dry season in February, rubber trees shed their leaves, so we did not tap milk. During the period me and my friends used to play hide and seek among tall hefty rubber trees. The trees treated the soil so well that, dug up well water from the area was so pure and tasty. How I missed my golden childhood....

[@Sheneller]

So lovely to hear. part of the reason we create the stories we do is to remind people of how beautiful life in Sri Lanka really is. So much of the country still does have this way of living.

[@ans1830]
