Kenya: Farmers Turn to Aloe Vera to Combat Drought and Poverty
Low rainfall and a rocky terrain have not dampened the hopes of many farmers in Kimalel area of Baringo County.
The soils in the semi-arid area may be unsuitable for production of many crops, but they are just perfect for the aloe vera.
Besides livestock keeping -- the main source of income locally -- farmers are diversifying to aloe vera production to earn additional money to improve their livelihood.
