It has potential to replace the most common types of natural and synthetic rubbers. The guayule plant produces natural rubber in its bark parenchyma cells. The shrub is processed to extract the latex. This review gives about guayule rubber production including agriculture, processing and products. Review also briefly describes the current global status of Guayule commercialization. (11)
