SURUMER - Sustainable Rubber Cultivation in the Mekong Region

Collaborative Project


Project code: 01LL0919
Contract period: 01.12.2011 - 30.11.2016
Coordinating institution: Department of Agroecology in the Tropics and Subtropics

The overall objective of the joint project SURUMER is to develop an integrative, applicable, and stakeholder-validated concept for sustainable rubber cultivation in Yunnan. The outcomes of the project will not only refer to the regional situation of the study region. Rather, they provide a wider application for potential rubber cultivation areas across the Mekong region. The concept is based on multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to identify trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem functions and services on the one hand and socio-economic goals and constraints on the other.
