Aloe is a good business in Italy.

by Daniel Avaro, CEO, Aloetrade

Italy and aloe has along relationship. A large variety of aloe products are present into the Italian market. In Italy, we find many aloe products, from well known aloe juices to aloe cosmetics and aloe foods. Across Italy, a wide variety of aloe shampoos, aloe conditioners, aloe body creams, aloe facial creams, aloe cosmetics and other aloe personal care products are offered at italian hypermarkets, supermarkets, pharmacies, herbal shops, foods stores, cosmetic stores, bars and cafeterias. Most aloe products are found in Italy today.

Aloe Production in Italy

Aloe is produced in Italy at a medium/small scale. There is some local aloe cultivation in Campania, Puglia and Sicily, mostly of aloe arborescens. Some years ago, I visited small farms close to Valguarnera Carropepe, Piazza Armerina and Regalbuto in Enna province, Sicily, where aloe arborescens was grown.

I also have seen an aloe arborescens cultivation (medium size plantation) in a property while travelling by bus from Caltanisetta to Catania, Sicily, in a place called Ramacca. I have been told that other aloe plantations are located at Custonacci and Marsala in Trapani, near Palermo.

Most aloe plantations in Italy are of aloe arborescens variety. Most aloe plantations are located in the southern Italy.

However there are some small companies involved in aloe business in Italy, we believe there are interesting investment opportunities for new aloe projects, starting from new aloe cultivation in southern part of Italy to new aloe processing industries accros Italy.
