What is the threshold for activating the incentive since January 2019?

Question

Accepted Answer

The threshold for activating the Rubber Production Incentive (IPG) has been set since January 2019.

The Rubber Production Incentive (IPG) is activated when the average monthly price of SMR 20 FOB falls to RM6.10 per kilogram or below, or when the farmgate price of rubber is RM2.50 per kilogram or less. This specific activation threshold has been in effect since January 2019.
Activation Criteria for IPG

The Rubber Production Incentive is triggered by two distinct price points. The first criterion is the average monthly price of Standard Malaysian Rubber 20 (SMR 20) Free On Board (FOB), which activates the incentive if it reaches RM6.10 per kilogram or drops below this level. The second criterion relates to the farmgate price of rubber, activating the incentive if it falls to RM2.50 per kilogram or below.
Effective Date of Threshold

These defined price levels for activating the IPG were established and have remained in place since January 2019. This means that any month where either the SMR 20 FOB price meets or falls below RM6.10, or the farmgate price is RM2.50 or less, will result in the activation of the incentive for eligible smallholders.
Recent Activation Example

For instance, the IPG was activated for January 2020 for approximately 440,000 rubber smallholders across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak. This activation was a direct consequence of the farmgate rubber price for that month falling below the RM2.50 per kilogram threshold, with average prices recorded at RM2.25 per kg in the peninsula, RM1.95 per kg in Sabah, and RM2.05 per kg in Sarawak.
