Udhampur: Farmers Prefer Aloe Vera over Traditional Crops in Fear of Monkey Menace
Several farmers of the Hartyaran Panchayat of Udhampur district are now preferring Aloe Vera plantation over traditional crops, in order to protect their farms from monkeys. It is said that monkeys hesitate to destroy Aloe Vera unlike other crops. The Central Government has set up a processing unit of the Aloe Vera plants in the Udhampur district of Jammu & Kashmir, to empower local farmers.
