This plant has significant medicinal value and hence, its gel and extracts are sold commercially all over the world. In between December 2008 and February 2009, a manufacturing unit in Udaipur district, Rajasthan produced about 500 liters of aloe vera juice. The state government later launched the processed and bottled juice for sale to the general public and tourists as a health drink. Local inhabitants and tribals who are members of the Van Suraksha Evam Prabandhan Samiti in Madhya Pradesh are also earning handsome amounts by producing and selling aloe vera juice commercially. Besides, there are many cosmetics and healthcare brands that use aloe vera as the main ingredient of their products.
