About this variety

IC 111280 is a second NBPGR-registered aloe vera germplasm accession, recorded alongside IC 111271 in the same group of Indian accessions selected for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use. Where IC 111271 is chosen for its high aloin content and is the default type in contract-farming agreements, IC 111280 is noted more specifically for gel density and quantity, making it a reasonable alternative where a processor's priority is cosmetic-grade gel yield over the aloin content that matters most for medicinal-grade products. As with all aloe vera planting material in India, growers should source this specific accession only if a contracting processor has actually specified it, since general nursery availability outside a formal contract-farming arrangement is limited.

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • Selected specifically for gel density and quantity, useful where a processor prioritises cosmetic-grade gel over aloin content.
  • Part of the same well-documented NBPGR registered-germplasm group as the more commonly used IC 111271.

Things to consider

  • Less commonly specified in contract-farming agreements than IC 111271 — confirm with your buyer before planting a large area of this specific accession.
  • No separately published, India-wide yield or aloin-content figure distinct from the wider registered-accession group.
