Dear Sir

Aloevera can almost grow everywhere in any condition provided it well drained.
generally grows on slopes so that good drainage is guaranteed.
Aloe is a drought, but prefers to be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. If the plant is left dry too long, the leaves will shrivel and pucker slightly. They will recover when watered, but prolonged stress, either too much drought or too much water, will cause the leaves to yellow and die. Aloe vera does not require a high soil fertility. Feeding once a year, in the spring, with a houseplant fertilizer should be sufficient.Aloe vera can be propagated by seed or by removing and potting the offsets that develop at the base of the plant. Aloe Vera has a rather shallow root system that likes to spread out close to the surface. As the plant grows and needs repotting, move up to a wider pot, rather than a deeper one.

Pests & Diseases: Rotting is the most common problem with aloe vera. Pay attention to the wilting of the leaves and water or withhold water accordingly.
Ants are attracted to the center of aloe vera plants. They are know to carry their aphid prey in there with them and the excess moisture can lead to rotting.
 

Is there a processing unit close to your farm? That will be an important fact to be considered in Aloe Vera cultivation.
