The next istop on our rubber history cruise was a place called Fordland. It was a huge rubber plantation built by American car manufacturer, Henry Ford.

For Mr. Ford, the plantation was an answer to the British controlled rubber market and a dependable way to supply his auto factories with rubber. For the Rubber Tappers, it was a possible revival of their trade... Join us as we visit Fordland and discover the secrets of what happened when a king size industrialist took on the Amazon.
