Increase the rubber yield to 1,300 kilograms per hectare per year.
Why this status: Official 2025 rubber-sector statistics report average yield below the manifesto target of 1,300 kilograms per hectare per year. Research and productivity work continue, but the published result does not demonstrate that the target has been reached. With no deadline in the pledge, this is assessed as stalled rather than broken.
