In addition to the important product Quinine, there was a wide variety of agricultural products. Rubber, Hevea, is obtained from latex, the milk sap of the rubber tree.

The latex is extracted from the tree by making incisions in the bark. A metal spout or "spout" is placed under the lowest point of the incision, through which the latex flows into the "cup".

The cups are regularly emptied into collection buckets. These collection buckets are taken to the factory or to a receiving station in the plantation. The tapping methods have been experimented with extensively. The goal was to find a balance between high annual yields and the time needed for the bark to recover.
