India's 'blue gold' Agave harvest

This was an interesting read from the BBC

Agave flower spikes apparently are rich in sugars and are farmed and fermented in Mexico to make tequila. They also grow wild in India as a bit of a nuisance - but (the problem is the solution!) coordinated harvesting means that India has a new industry making tequila.

Presumably the plant isn't productive enough for an energy crop (alcohol fuel).

I like the idea of people learning to do things from across the world, like India starting a taquila industry, and making use of something they felt was in the way.
