  10. That white stuff is called latex. to get started..they buy the tree when it’s about 2′ tall about 120 baht each and plant them 3′ X 4′. Once it’s grown a few feet more, they collect small amount of latex and send it to the factory or have someone else pick it up. To get a full bucket it’s every 8 years. When visiting Thailand please noticed the sugar cane fields…they make about 700 to 1500 baht a month depending on the buyer.. My mom’s families are in Udon Thani and they used to grow latex before and said they weren’t making that much income so they turn to sugar cane along with growing other vegetables to the market..just fyi..😙
