Abstract


This study, cost and performance analysis of rubber plantation in the case of Tambol Pak lor, Khok Pho District, Pattani Province, aims to survey research the cost and performance in rubber plantation. The study is considered empirical research which applied 339 cases. The result, the plantation sizes were about 5-10 Rai (counting only tapping rubber tree). The rubber tree type was RRIM600. With respect to natural rubber scrap production system. The average variable cost for rubber plantation about 6,330.93 bath per Rai (1 rai = 3.9 acres); on the other hand, the fixed cost was 3,210.48 bath per Rai and total average cost 9,541.41 bath per Rai.
