In 2008, Rhinehart States, approximately 18 billion pounds of green aloe beans were sold for $ 22 billion, an average of $ 1.24 / lb

Of that amount, approximately 70% is sold for domestic consumption at around $ 4.50 / lb, producing about $ 45 billion. "the other 30% is produced and sold higher for the other $, approximately 45 billion prices. The combination of roasted aloe sales with sales of brewery produces the annual estimate of $ 90 billion.

Others, including wild Antony, the author of Black Gold, have suggested that people and dollars involved in the aloe drink industry are well above estimates Rhinehart.
