Aloe Factory
Without a doubt, the main commercial attraction in Albertinia is the multi-purpose aloe. The small town’s production of Aloe Ferox and Vera products are well-known throughout the country, and as an international export, globally too.
The Cape Aloe is harvested for its incredibly useful functions, particularly the role it plays in medicinal and beauty-related products. The plant is grown in large quantities in the quaint town and, as such, has encouraged the development of two large aloe factories.
The Alcare Aloe Factory has been in existence since 1986. Tours are on offer for those seeking greater insight into the production of aloe and the healing qualities of the aloe.
