The rubber seed availability and supply are studied and focused on Southeast Asia region. Technologies with rubber seed and rubber seed oil processing are reviewed. Challenges over rubber seed utilisation, e.g. rubber seed biomass availability, labour issue, etc., are raised and discussed. Future developments of rubber seed utilisation, in term of its management trends and supply solutions, are proposed. Rubber seed is gaining attractions for its vast practical applications, as a result of the expansion of rubber industry. {\^A}{\copyright} 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84899105623&doi=10.1007\%2fs10098-013-0667-6&partnerID=40&md5=7816f303093121fcec2675badcf346ae}, keywords = {Biofuels; Biomass; Economic and social effects; Rubber; Rubber applications; Rubber products, Biomass availability; Management trends; Processing technologies; Rubber seed; Rubber seed oil; Southeast Asia; Technology development; Value added products, Rubber industry}, author = {Ng, W.
