Following a peak price of black vanilla at around USD 500 per kilo in 2018/2019, many more farmers have invested their time in vanilla cultivation, which in Madagascar is almost exclusively a cash-crop. Barely any of yeild is used locally.
Vanilla beans grow best in light but shaded conditions and our plantation is located in a forested area by the beach close to the village of Benavony. Partly and fully grown green vanilla beans can be seen here at many plantations between March and up until harvesting time in July.
