I am looking for agencies who can supply and buy back Aloevera plants
I will appreciate if they could guide me in all the aspects
Due to the following technical reasons aloe vera processors are not buying or sourcing fresh aloe vera leaves from distance locations or buying from unknown growers .
1. The Aloe vera leaves after harvesting were preferably transported in refrigerated vans from the field to the processing place .
2. After harvesting the aloe vera plants or leaves , it must be processed within 3 - 4 hours. This is only possible if the factory is in close proximity to the plantation.
3. Another important factor that must be considered is the handling/treatment of the leaves after its harvesting because the decomposition of the gel matrix occurs on temperature (25°C). Due to the reaction of enzymatic browning, the longer the crushing/grinding time, the higher the browning index in Aloe vera gel juice . Therefore, crushing or grinding should be shortened within 10-20 min in order to avoid the enzymatic browning reaction of Aloe vera gel .
Those are interested to grow aloe vera should start aloe vera processing unit ( Traditional hand filleted Aloe processing / Whole leaf Aloe vera processing / Total process Aloe vera processing ) and sell final value added aloe vera products in wholesale bulk market .
