 Cooperative for poor farmers
In 2001 we discovered a plateau in the north west of Peru, where at 800 meters altitude conditions are perfect for growing Aloe Vera. Along with the owner we initiated a project where local subsistence farmers (with families) could participate in something economically viable. The project was later taken out of our hands by the much larger and typically Peruvian NGO, Minka.

The price of processed
Aloe Vera gel 10X:
