Results showed that farmers had inadequate expertise on four main aspects of sustainable rubber management that were farm management, land ownership, fertilizer usage, and community management. The study revealed that Myanmar rubber industry had not received significantly to support from the government. It is suggested that Myanmar rubber smallholding farms still needed to improve in many aspects in order to meet the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards. It is concluded that the government should increase to support the smallholder by the aforementioned aspects in order to improve rubber sector in Myanmar.
