The present invention provides a method for producing natural rubber with which the odors of solid natural rubber is easily reduced, and further which does not degrade physical properties such as heat aging resistance. The present invention relates to a method for producing natural rubber, the method including a sheeting step including sheeting a non-deproteinized solid natural rubber to form a natural rubber sheet, the natural rubber sheet having a moisture content of 20% or less.

Provided herein are organic solvent-based processes for the removal of rubber from non-Hevea plants such as guayule shrubs. By the use of the processes, solid purified rubber can be obtained that contains 0.05-0.5 weight % dirt, 0.2-1.5 weight % ash, and 0.1-4 weight % resin (when it has been dried so as to contain 0.8 weight % volatile matter).
