Описание: #ALOEVERA
When drought wiped out traditional crops, Melbreeze Kenya Ltd discovered agriculture's best-kept secret: aloe vera. This is the story of how they turned Kenya's harshest climate challenge into a thriving export business generating $15,000+ per acre monthly.
In this documentary, we go inside Melbreeze's operations to reveal how they've mastered the complete value chain—from drought-resistant cultivation to premium product processing—while creating 500+ jobs for former pastoralists in Baringo and Turkana counties.
