Intercropping rubber with tea can give the farmer two incomes, help stop soil erosion, and make the farm more biodiverse. But rubber trees take many years to produce latex, can compete with tea for light and nutrients, and managing both crops costs more time and money. If the farmer can handle the delayed income and plans spacing and shade carefully, trying a small test plot is a smart, sustainable choice.
