Type-wise production of NR, include RSS grade, solid block rubber, Latex concentrate (DRC), and other rubbers are highly volatile in nature, but has fluctuated over the year. The share of solid block rubber in the total production increased from 10 percent in 2001-02 to 18 percent in 2014-15. Latex concentrate (DRC) and other forms of natural rubber occupy about 8 percent and 6 percent of the total production of natural rubber in the country in 2014-15. Co-efficient of Correlation employed to examine the, Ho: There is no significant relationship between the total production of natural rubber in the country and grade of rubber sheets, include, RSS grades, Latex concentrate (DRC),solid block rubber and others. H1: There is significant relationship between the total production of natural rubber in the country and grade of rubber sheets, include, RSS grades, Latex concentrate (DRC), solid block rubber and others. This study reveals that all the grades of rubber sheets have the results of variables are less than 0.5 except, RSS grades. The shows results are 0.999, 0.21, -0.5 and -0.17 respectively. But, the 73
