My uncle has a small piece of agricultural land (4 acres) in Gurgaon. He is currently evaluating to cultivate medicinal plants on a lower scale, and move on to a larger scale if it had potential for returns.

He is currently evaluating to grow Aloe Vera, which is I believe is largely maintainance free. Please let me know if that is an ideal thing to do on 4 acres, and if it is, what is the kind of investment required, as well as returns on the same per acre.

I would appreciate any valuable insights you or your colleagues might share at this point in time.

Dear Sir

yes u can cultivate aloevera and it is maintenance free.
Aloe Vera is generally propagated by root suckers by carefully digging out without damaging the parent plant and planting it in the main field. It can also be propagated through rhizome cuttings by digging out the rhizomes after the harvest of the crop and making them into 5-6 cm length cuttings with a minimum of 2-3 nodes on them. Then they are rooted in specially prepared sand beds or containers.

The plant is ready for transplanting after the appearance of the first sprouts. The process of cultivating Aloe Vera involves the following process:
The ground is to be carefully prepared to keep free from weeds and the soil is ideally kept ideally slightly acidic. The soil should be supplied supplement in the form of ammonium nitrate every year.
The plants are set spaced out by 31 inches in rows and between the rows. At that rate, about 5,000 plants are set per acre. An 8 - 12 inch aloe pop would take about 18 - 24 months to fully mature.
The plants, in a year's time, would bear flowers that are bright yellow in colour. The leaves are 1 to 2 feet long and are cut without causing damage to the plant, so that it lasts for several years.
The crop can be harvested 4 times a year. At the rate of 3 leaves cut from each plant, about 12 leaves are the harvest per plant per year. On an average, the yield per acre annually is about 60,000 kg.
