Rubber Tree Forrest

It’s elastic and fantastic. Stretchy and even a little sticky. Rubber is a natural product found in many commodities today. Vietnam is one of the world’s largest rubber producers. Rubber is formed from rubber trees. The harvesting process is similar to maple syrup production. The rubber substance is extracted from the middle of the tree through an incision. The rubber then flows from the tree into collection containers. The rubber industry is another aspect of the diverse Vietnamese agriculture industry.

I felt like I was pulling a rubber band!

There were so many rows of trees!
