Abstract: The most significant characteristic of rubber plantation industry in India/Kerala is the relatively slow growth and the degree of high variability that occur from time to time. The recent observations provide exciting experiences particularly in Kerala in the post-globalization scenario. The volatile characteristics attracted attention both from the private and government circles and have been the most significant dark spot in the era of globalisation. It should be remembered that fluctuations are inherent in every economic process and that such stochasticity is normally taken into account in every business and commercial decision. Instability becomes a problem only when it exceeds the bounds of normality that is anticipated in business activity. These bounds are by no means universal and can vary from one activity to another.
