INTRODUCTION
Internships offer students a hands-on opportunity to work in their desired field. An intern learns
how their course of study applies to the real world and builds a valuable experience that makes
them stronger candidates for jobs after graduation. An internship program includes the plan,
resources and processes to contribute to the organizations goals, accomplish pre-defined tasks, and
receive experience, supervision, and expertise for their time and energy.
Organization is defined as a systematic co-ordination and combination of efforts with the aid of
money, men, machinery, materials and methods in a manner as would result in maximum
manufacturing efficiency within a minimum cost. Internship is an opportunity that employers offer
to students interested in gaining work experience in particular industries. An intern works at a
company for a fixed period of time, usually three to six months. Some students will have a part time
internship in which they work at the office for just few days or hours per week. Others will have
full time internship, meaning they work the same hours as the company’s full time employees.
The internship carried on within the organization The State Farming Corporation of Kerala Ltd. The
extent of study is to get a realistic knowledge about the firm. The study covers the entire firm
functioning and the different task connected to it. It provides an idea about the practical side of the
organization and the business action going on there. The study gives an outline of the function of
various department and overall functions of the organization.
The State Farming Corporation of Kerala Ltd is an ISO 14001-2015 certified company,
incorporated in the year 1972 under the Indian Companies Act 1956, to plant sugarcane in the forest
land leased out from Government, for ensuring timely supplies of raw materials to public sector
sugar mills in Kerala. The corporation is a public sector undertaking under the Department of
Agriculture, Government of Kerala.
Since the cultivation of sugarcane in the forest area was not found commercially viable, it was
stopped in 1980 and SFCK switched over to rubber and converted 1820 Hectares to rubber
Page 1
plantations. In addition to the Rubber Plantation, the Corporation has 230 Ha. of Cashew, 50 Ha. of
Coconut and 10 Ha. of Pepper and other intercrops such as Coffee, Cocoa and Arecanut. In 2007
the Company established polybag rubber nurseries at Mullumala and Chithalvetty estates with a
production capacity of one lakh polybag plants in all.
Considering the reference from college, permission was granted to carry out an internship in HR
Department of The State Farming Corporation of Kerala Limited by the Personnel Manager, SFCK
Ltd. The internship is done for a period of 40 days from 27.06.2019. The study helps to know the

INDUSTRY ANALYSES
An indispensable product to modern society as steel, wood and mortar is rubber. Rubber is of two
types—natural and manmade. All of us use products made of rubber at home, at work, at play and
even when we travel. Automobiles, trains, aircraft, industries rely on it for variety of purpose. That
is why it is rightly said that rubber in the modern world is omnipotent.
Rubber is a yellowish, elastic, amorphous material obtained from the latex or milky sap of various
tropical plants like the rubber tree. This latex is vulcanized, pigmented, finished and modified into
various products like electric insulation, elastic bands, belts, tires, hoses, gaskets and containers.
Rubber is also known by its scientific name “caoutchouc” or India rubber.
Natural Rubber
Rubber and its products have become an indispensable part of our lives. There isn’t a single day in
our lives passing without using any of the rubber products. Rubber is a polymer, which is a word
that is derived from the Greek meaning ‘many parts’. India is the fourth largest producer of rubber
in the world. Its uses and importance can be traced back to the invention of automobiles. It has been
described as the nature’s most versatile vegetable crop by National Geographic.
Rubber can be made out of latex. Hevea brasiliensis, also known as the Para rubber tree is the main
source of latex. The first scientific study of rubber was done by Charles de la Condamine. It was
first used by the people of Amazon. Later its popularity flourished and spread across different parts
of the world. The demand for natural rubber will keep on increasing and it is estimated to reach
13.8 million metric tons by 2020.
Synthetic Rubber
Synthetic rubber was first developed by Bouchardat. This gave a real break in the usage of rubber
across world. This discovery mainly helped in the production of motor vehicle tyres. Thus the
demand for tyres made of synthetic rubber increased tremendously. It is artificial elastomer.
Synthetic rubber constitutes one third of the total production of rubber.
Page 3
Rubber is a major agricultural crop of India and is considered to be divided into two major parts,
the Tire segment and the non-tire segment. The different types of products grown are:
Fig.1.1: Different types of rubber products
Rubber trees are usually tapped for latex by making a spiral cut through the bark of the tree on
alternate days, although the frequency and method of tapping vary. The latex is collected in cups
hung on the tree below the cuts. The contents of the cups are transferred to large containers and
moved to processing stations. Ammonia is usually added as a preservative. Ammonia disrupts the
particles of rubber and produces a two-phase product consisting of 30 to 40% solids. This product is
further concentrated to 60% solids, resulting in ammoniated latex concentrate, which contains 1.6%
ammonia by weight. A low-ammonia latex concentrate (0.15 to 0.25% ammonia) is also available.
The low-ammonia concentrate requires the addition of a secondary preservative to the latex to avoid
Page 4
coagulation and contamination. Secondary preservatives include sodium pentachlorophenate,

tetramethylthiuram disulphide, sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate and zinc oxide.
The chief hazards to field workers are exposure to the elements, animal and insect bites and hazards
related to the sharp tools used to make incisions in the trees. Injuries that result should be treated
promptly to reduce the risk of infection. Preventive and therapeutic measures can reduce the
hazards of the climate and pests. The incidences of malaria and gastro-enteric diseases have been
reduced on modern plantations through prophylaxis, mosquito control and sanitary measures.
Production Processes
Latex from rubber trees is either shipped to consumers as a concentrate or processed further into dry
rubber. For technically specified rubber, one manufacturing process involves coagulating the field
latex with acid and passing the coagulated latex through cutting machines and a series of creping
rollers. Hammer mills or granulators convert the product to rubber crumbs, which are screened,
washed, dried, baled and packed. Another method of technically specified rubber production
involves the addition of a crumbling agent before coagulation, followed by crumbling using creping
rollers.
Ribbed smoked sheets are produced by passing coagulated latex through a series of rollers to
produce thin sheets, which are embossed with a ribbed pattern. The ribbed pattern serves mainly to
increase the surface area of the material and aid its drying. The sheets are preserved by placing
them in a smokehouse at 60°C for a week, visually graded, sorted and packed in bales.
Compounding formulas used for natural rubbers are essentially the same as those used for most of
the unsaturated synthetic rubbers. Accelerators, activators, antioxidants, fillers, softeners and
vulcanizing agents may all be required, depending upon what properties are desired in the finished
compound.
The hazards arising from the use of mechanized production methods (i.e., rolls and centrifuges)
require strict safety controls during installation, use and maintenance, including attention to
machine guarding. Appropriate precautions must be used when processing chemicals are used.
Attention should be paid to the use of appropriate walking and working surfaces to prevent slips,
Page 5
trips and falls. Employees should receive training in safe work practices. Strict supervision is
required to prevent accidents associated with the use of heat as an aid in curing.
RUBBER INDUSTRY GLOBAL OVERVIEW
Natural Rubber is a commercial plantation crop from the tree species, Hevea brasiliens is grown in
tropical humid climatic conditions. Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, China and India are
the major NR producers globally. The current world production and consumption of NR is around
million tonnes and 12.60 million tonnes respectively. The major NR consumers are China,
India, USA, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Rubber is largely perceived as a
strategic industrial raw material and accorded special status globally for defence, national
security and industrial development. Major consuming countries keep strategic reserves of
NR.
World consumption of rubber increased by 1.9% to 29.2 million tonnes in 2018 from 28.4 million
tonnes in 2017. The ratio of NR (Natural Rubber) to SR (Synthetic Rubber) consumed in 2018 was
47:53.
Table 1.1: Statistical summary of world rubber situation
Source: All data taken from Rubber Statistical Bulletin, April – June 2019 edition
Page 6
Rubber is an internationally traded commodity and price of rubber is influenced interalia by trends
in economic growth, production in major producing countries and demand in major consuming
countries. Domestic NR prices generally follow the trends in the international market and is
therefore, subjected to fluctuations in price.
Table 1.2: Rubber price and related indicators

Rubber industry has a tremendous global impact. In fact, it is very interesting to note the fact that in
the history and the application of various materials, very few have made a large impact globally as
natural and synthetic rubber. The natural rubber material stretches from plantations in Malaysia,
Thailand and Indonesia to factories in almost all countries of the world. It is estimated that natural
rubber accounts for only about 25% of the rubber used in industry. Synthetic rubber is the primary
source of raw materials for many rubber products today.
INDIAN SCENARIO
Indian rubber industry is characterized by the co-existence of a well-established rubber

production sector and a fast growing rubber products manufacturing and consuming sector. The
Page 7
Rubber Industry value chain begins from NR plantations and ends with a huge range of dry
rubber and latex based products. Historically, NR was a regulated commodity with strong tariff
protection and domestic market regulations. The key factors which have contributed to the
growth of Indian rubber industry are positive intervention of institutional agencies aiming at self-
sufficiency and import substitution. Most of the rubber products including tyres require blends of
NR and SR. Consumption of SR is mainly determined by end product composition,
technological change and relative prices. Consumption of SR in India in rubber products
manufacturing sector increased from 411,830 tonne in 2010-11 to 633,975 tonne in 2017-18.
Currently, there are four companies producing SR and production increased from 110,340 tonne
in 2010-11 to 331,221 tonne in 2017-18. Styrene Butadiene Rubber and Poly Butadiene Rubber
accounted for 63% and 34% of SR production in the country. Import of SR amounted to 338,189
tonne in 2017-18. Consumption of SR in India is projected to reach 1.2 million tonne by 2025.
Advantages of Indian Rubber Industry
 An extensive plantation sector.

 Indigenous availability of the basic raw materials, like natural rubber. Synthetic rubber,
reclaim rubber, carbon black, rubber chemicals, fatty acids, rayon and nylon yarn are
easily available to make various rubber-based products.
 There is a large domestic market.
 There is easy availability of cheap labor.
 On-going economic reforms.
 Improved living standards of the masses.
Future Scope
There is no doubt that with the saturation reaching in rubber consumption in various Western
countries and the shift in consumption of rubber to the Asia Pacific region, the focal factor for
this decade for development is India. The rubber industry is expected to grow at over 8% per
annum in this decade. The industry is envisaged to grow at the rate of 8% per annum and the per
Page 8
capita consumption of rubber at 0.8 kg against 14 kg. There exists a huge scope for expansion
and development and exports in coming years.
STATE SCENARIO
Kerala is the leading rubber plantation state in India. It accounts to 92 percent of the country’s
total natural rubber production. This crop was brought to India during the reign of British. Most
of the hilly regions in Kerala grow rubber especially North Kerala region is concentrating on
rubber plantation. It has become the main source of income for many farmers without any doubt.
Now we can say that coconut plantations have been almost replaced by rubber plantations as it
gives daily income to the planters.
Among the districts in Kerala, Kottayam is the leader in the rubber production. Hence this region
is also known as ‘Land of latex’. Kottayam’s 15% of the total industrial units are involved in
rubber production only. Meenachil and Kanjirappilly taluks possess the largest area under rubber
plantation.
Rubber Board, a central government research institution is located at Kottayam. A common

facility service centre, training centre and field testing laboratory for rubber – plastic industries
has set up at Changanassery.
Also a central government production cum training centre is situated at Ettumanoor. Recently
Rubco opened a factory at Pampady. MRF Ltd (Vadavathoor), Midas Rubber Pvt Ltd
(Ettumanoor) and Intermix factory (Neezhoor) are some of the rubber based industries settled in
Kerala.
Ranni is one of the 5 taluks in Pathanamthitta district. It is one of the largest taluks in Kerala. It
is also nick named as “The Queen of the Eastern Hill Lands”. It is also famous as the number one
rubber producing taluk in Kerala. Ranni is blessed with its climatic conditions like high humidity
and heavy rain which favours the growth of rubber crops in this hilly terrain. Ezhmattor is the
village which has the highest cultivation of rubber. This village is also a part of Pathanamthitta
district.
Page 9
Due to the increase in demand rubber plantations are spreading across many districts in Kerala. If
coconut was a major income of Keralites, the situation has changed a lot these days. The major
reason for the boom in rubber industry is only because of the increase in number of cars each and
everyday. But now a set back have arisen due to the insufficiency of tapping workers. Another
problem is that the non-availability of land for expanding the cultivation. Also the unrestricted
import of rubber from other countries is growing as a great challenge in the rubber cultivation.
Price of Rubber
The price of rubber can be done domestically and internationally. Its been estimated by SICOM,
Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur on international basis and Kottayam, Kochi, Rubber Marketing
Federation, Indian Rubber Dealers Federation on domestic basis.
PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
India is currently the sixth largest producer of NR in the world with one of the highest
productivity (694,000 tonnes in 2017-18). The production capacity in India is around 900,000
tonnes, of which around 75% is tapped. Out of the total area under rubber in India of around
822,000 ha, 614500 ha is a mature yielding crop. Traditional rubber-growing states comprising
Kerala and Tamil Nadu account for 81% of production. Major non-traditional rubber growing
regions are the North Eastern states of Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya, Odisha, Karnataka,
Maharashtra and West Bengal. Sheet rubber is the most preferred form of processing accounting
for around 70% of processed rubber. Block rubber and latex comprise17% and 12% respectively
of rubber production in the country.
India is the 2nd largest consumer of NR globally with current consumption of around 1.1 million
tonnes. Sheet rubber, block rubber and latex account for 47%, 43% and 8% respectively in NR
consumption. Around 40% of the total NR consumption in India is at present met from import of
rubber. 68% of NR consumption in India is in the automotive tyre sector.
RUBBER EXPORT
Page 10
NR is not a traditional export-oriented commodity, more so because of the current deficit in

production. Export of NR happens to adjust temporary demand-supply imbalances in the NR
domestic market. There is a huge export potential for rubber products in the country, which if
promoted, shall indirectly increase the demand for domestic NR as also the export earnings.
Export from rubber products was worth ₹ 20,915 crores in 2017-18.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC SCENARIO
Globally and locally NR is largely grown by smallholders and 91% of rubber planted area and
92% of production is in smallholding sector (below 10 ha). There are around 1.3 million rubber
growers and 0.6 million workers in rubber plantation sector in India. Average size of holding is
the lowest in India among the major NR producing countries at 0.57 ha. Most of the growers in
the non-traditional rubber growing regions are from tribal and other resource poor communities.
STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES OF INDIAN RUBBER SECTOR
The major strengths of the sector include existence of a domestic rubber products manufacturing
industry capable of consuming the entire NR produced in the country, vast areas in non-
traditional regions suitable for rubber cultivation, strong and systematic rubber research, well-
knit extension network and grower forums comprising Rubber Producers Societies (RPS), Self
Help Groups (SHGs), RPS companies and Cooperatives.
The sector also faces many challenges, some of which are sub-optimal agro-climatic conditions
and adverse impact of climate change, saturation of area for new planting in traditional regions,
agro-climatic, topographic, social, cultural, institutional and infrastructure constraints in non-
traditional regions, global price volatility and low-price situations, and its repercussions on
production, lack of competitiveness, stagnation in the growth of Non-Tyre Rubber
manufacturing sector etc.

Company profile
Company name : State Farming Corporation of Kerala Ltd.
Owner : Government of Kerala
Location : Alimukku, Punalur, Kollam Dist.
Full address : Farm House, Vettithitta P.O. Alimukku, Achancovil Road, punalur,
Kerala
Website : www.sfckerala.com
The State Farming Corporation of Kerala Ltd, Punalur is considered as the most competent and
successfully managed public sector plantation company. The company has a reliable good record of
posy performance. This might be achieved form other team spirit and morale form the part of
management and employees. SFCK is an ISO 14001-2015 certified company.
The SFCK is an agricultural based industry. It was registered as fully owned company under the
Indian Companies Act 1956. It was incorporated in the year 1972. In the initial stage the company
engaged in the cultivation of sugar cane in about 2500 hectares land to supply sugar cane to
Mannam sugar mills in Pandalam. Since the cultivation of sugar cane in the forest area was not
found economically viable, it was stopped in 1982. Now it is an ISO 14001-2015 certified
company.
The SFCK was started with an initial capital of Rs. One crore. Now the company is having an
approved share capital of 10 crore in equity shares of
Rs. 1000/- each and paid up capital of 9.0357 crores. The company is having a turnover of about
12-13 crores depending on the market price of rubber. The production performance of the
Page 12
corporation is better than the average yield recorded by Rubber Board in similar type of plantation.
The cost of production of sugar cane cultivation increased and delayed in supplying of similar to
sugar mills that resulted in huge loss for the company. From 1972-1982 the company faced huge
loss which become insupportable to organization. In this stage the company decided to diversity its
activity in 1981. The company as decided to start rubber cultivation which results in the end of
production of sugarcane. The large scale rubber started in 1982 and enclosed in 1984 and in that
year the company started tapping trees.
During 1994, the government of Kerala vested the management of Travancore Rubber Works with
SFCK Ltd. TRW was a formed during the year 1939. During all the above phase the company had
to suffer various setbacks ultimately resulting in a long lay out. In January 1994, TRW was handed
over to the SFCK Ltd as its subsidiary. The government has written off time of the liabilities of this
company. The TRW restarted the production of the mattresses and pillows tread rubber,
automobile, bush kits, industrial rubber sheeting and cycle tires, rims and cycles tubes in recorded
time.
SFCK believed in continual improvement and decided to adopt a quality management system base
on ISO 14001-2015 standard for the latex centrifuging factory at Chithelvetty and allied functions
at company’s head quarters at Punalur.
The Company is one of the major producers of first grade centrifuged latex in India, with an
installed capacity of 23 metric tons per day. The product is manufactured and sold on as all India
bases, directly and through agents for a range of application such as condoms, hand gloves, foam
rubber, coir mattress, and balloon.
The four estates of corporation viz., Chithalvetty, Kumramkudy, Mullumala and Cheruppittakkavu.
Among these Chithalvetty is the largest one. The extent of area under rubber plantation is 1974.87
hectares, cashew plantation 229.884 hectares and marshy land inside the estate are gainfully used
for coconut cultivation in addition to above the company having pepper plantation about 50

THE STATE FARMING CORPORATION OF KERALA LTD, PUNALUR:

BRIEF HISTORY
The State Farming Corporation of Kerala Ltd was registered as a Government fully owned
company under the Indian Companies Act, 1956 with effect from 15th April 1972. The main
objective of the company was cultivation of sugarcane in the clear felled forest lands leased out to
the company by government and supply of sugarcane to the Mannam sugar mills co-operative Ltd,
Pandalam. The authorized share capital of the company was initially fixed at Rs. 1 crore, which was
subsequently raised to Rs. 2 crores in 1978 and thereafter to 7 crore in 1984 and to 10 crore in 1990.
The sugarcane cultivation resulted in heavy loss year after and by 1979 all the activities of the
company were paralyzed due to liabilities and lack of funds even for payment of salary.
Government directed this corporation to diversify its activities by raising other crops in the farms
depending on the suitability of the areas, with a view to make the company viable. Accordingly the
company identified rising of large scale rubber plantation and rehabilitating existing cashew and
coconut crops as a financially viable proposition.
