Eligible cuplump smallholders in Peninsular Malaysia will receive 5-10 sen per kg based on dry rubber content, while those in Sabah get 35-70 sen per kg and in Sarawak 40-80 sen per kg. Latex smallholders nationwide are entitled to a fixed 90 sen per kg.

Payments to all qualified Malaysian rubber smallholders will be disbursed from January 1 to 31, 2026, based on December 2025 production.
