In India, commercial cultivation was introduced by British planters, although the experimental efforts to grow rubber on a commercial scale were initiated as early as 1873 at the Calcutta Botanical Gardens.
U Indiji, komercijalnu kultivaciju uveli su britanski plantažeri, iako su eksperimentalni napori na uzgoju gume u komercijalnim razmerama započeli još 1873 u botaničkoj bašti Kolkate.
