Q. How much aloe vera can you plant on an acre?

Answer

Growing Aloe Vera is a profitable endeavor that needs only a small financial outlay to yield a substantial profit. A farmer may grow about 60,000 aloe vera plants on 1 acre of land, and that acre will cost him or her between Rs 1.8 and 2 lakhs to cultivate. About 3.5 kg of leaves can be harvested from a single Aloe Vera plant, with a resulting average selling price of between Rs 15 and Rs 18. Profits of Rs 8–10 lakhs, or nearly five times the cost of production, are well within reach for the farmer.
