Herbridge, 27 Jan.2011_As a traditional product, aloes extract has wide applications in food, drinks and cosmetics. While huge numbers of herbal extracts see higher prices under the inflation, aloes extract market may keep stable in the near future.

According to herbridge.com, unlike ornamental aloes, aloes for extraction have thicker blades with higher content of effective components. Aloes are sensitive to cold weather, so aloes are mostly cultivated in Yunnan province. Yuanjiang county, Yunnan province is the home of aloes in China. Located in Yuanjiang county, Yunnan Evergreen Biological Corporation become the largest aloes products manufacturer in China. In addition, Yuanjiang Xian Kanger Xun Biological Engineering Co.,Ltd builds a aloe base covering over 1000 mu in Yuanjiang county. The company supplies a full range of general aloe products, including aloe whole leaf dried powder, aloe functional powder, aloin, dried aloe gel and 100:1 aloe whole leaf freeze dried powder.

As it is cold in the north of China, it is hard to achieve aloe cultivation on a large scale in these areas. Accordingly, there are no large aloe manufacturers in the north of China. Manufacturers only produce aloe extracts as additional products. The Spring Festival is coming soon, some manufacturers already sell out aloin and temporarily stop aloin production. It is understood that some manufacturers in the north began to raise aloe extracts' prices under the inflation. The prices for 20% aloin increase to around 120RMB/kg from 90RMB/kg.

Yunnan province produces major aloe products of China. The aloe growth situation in Yunnan largely affects China aloe products market. According to herbridge.com, the growth to date hasn't seen unfavorable climates in Yunnan. China aloes extract market is expected to be stable in the near future. The prices for 10% and 20% aloin are maintained at 65RMB/kg and 85RMB/kg, respectively.
