In 2015, Dylan started farmers cooperative named ''Madagascar Natural Products'', or MNP for short. The cooperarive provides agricultural training, equipment to its members when needed, such as flashlights and raincoats. Through education and support, MNP's objective is to help its vanilla growers meet the highest possible quality requirements. As of 2016, there are four member families with eight individual farmers each. In total there are 32 farmers located in areas stretching from and around Andapa to Sambava.
During the vanilla processing season from June until August Madagascar Spices has 25 staff members in Andapa and 10 in Sambava. The 20th June is the official start of harversting. The processing, or so-called curing process of each vanilla pod, takes approximately one month. This inludes the cooking (to retain the aroma), drying, sorting and packaging. The vanilla is then ready for export. Madagascar Spices takes great pride in their end-products that is achived through the highly laborous process from hand-pollination to packaging. Additionally, their products are 100% organic with no use of artificial fertilisers. The company accepts small and large orders with the smallest being 2kg sent by DHL or FedEx.
