Why Rubber Cost Jumped to 48 Cents a Pound
An examination of rubber pricing since 1922 shows a rise from 36 to 42 and then 48 cents per pound under British policy. The article cites 1926 dividend data from major rubber firms such as Golconda Malay Rubber, Kapar Para Rubber Estate, Bombay Rubber, and Kepong Malay Rubber Estate to assess whether the increases protected planters from ruin. It notes 1925 earnings and dividend details, including Kepong’s long dividend history and reserve additions, and touches on capital calls.
