Curaçao Ecocity Projects NV (Home of CurAloe)

Curaçao Ecocity Projects N.V. (CurAloe NV) operates the very successful Aloe Vera plantation in Curaçao, where we currently cultivate over 100,000 specimens of this magnificent Aloe Vera (Barbadensis Miller). As the name implies, the plantation concentrates on producing in the most ecological way possible and does not use any chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizer. Plant remnants left over after production or plantation maintenance are turned into compost and reused. The well over 100.000 litre of water used for irrigation is recycled (grey) water reclaimed locally on the island. We plant, cultivate and harvest the Aloe Vera with the greatest possible care and in an environmentally friendly manner. Specially designed and patented machines, which have been developed by us, are being used to make sure not to damage the active substances in the Aloe Vera gel. We can therefore guarantee a constant and excellent quality for every batch we produce. The Aloe Vera gel is extracted from the leaves, filtered, stabilized and processed to concentrate in our production plant at the plantation. Since 2004 we have been producing commercially and our annual production level has increased steadily every year up to a current production lever of over 100.000 litre of Aloe Vera juice per year. The bulk of this concentrate is exported, mainly to The Netherlands.
