        History

        The Rubber Growers' Association was established on 24 June 1907 with the aim of providing a central place where those interested in the production of rubber might meet and discuss matters connected with the industry. Members were to be drawn from any individual or company interested in or connected with the rubber industry (initial members being invited via a circular letter). In July 1912 the Association was incorporated as a limited company; by this time, its work had outgrown all previous expectations. The Association was active in the industry internationally, and this included research projects and examinations into the state of the industry as a whole.

        In 1987, the title of the Rubber Growers' Association changed to the Tropical Growers' Association in order to reflect wider representation of plantation crops. Meetings of the Rubber Growers' Association were held in various places through the years:
        1907-1914, Chamber of Commerce Building, Oxford Court, Cannon Street;
        1914-1922, 38 Eastcheap;
        1922-1935, 2-4 Idol Lane, Eastcheap;
        1935-1962, 19 Fenchurch Street;
        1962-1973, Plantation House, 10-15 Mincing Lane;
        1973-1975, Unilever House, Blackfriars;
        1975-1980, Dunlop House, Ryder Street, SW17.
