KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 -- The Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) has launched the “RRIMniaga”, a mobile application (app) to ease rubber trade for licensees, buyers and dealers registered with the MRB.
In a statement today, it said that the app allows dealers to record their rubber trade transactions, while enhancing the operational efficiency of the local rubber supply chain.
“RRIMniaga will help to ease rubber trade activities as dealers will no longer have to buy receipt books as well as sale and purchase record books from MRB’s office.


“The app will ensure smooth and transparent trade transaction for the benefit of all parties involved,” the MRB said.
It said the app is directly linked to the Rubber Production Incentive (IPG) system; thus, smallholders will be able to benefit from the IPG as the RRIMniaga records the transactions automatically and issues electronic receipts.
“Smallholders will no longer have to go to MRB’s office to apply for the IPG, as the IPG will be channelled directly to their bank accounts after going through the necessary procedures,” it said.
To-date, the RRIMniaga has been well received although it is still on its trial stage, with 304 dealers currently using the app.
“The MRB is aware and committed towards ensuring the sustainable development of the country's rubber industry.
“Those who wish for more information about RRIMniaga can email RRIMniaga [AT] lgm [DOT] gov [DOT] my,” it added.
