Whether visiting a national park in the SAVA region or just passing through Sambava, the capital of the world's vanilla, a visit to a vanilla plantation and processing facility offers a memorable take-away experience.

What can be experienced depends on activities that are ongoing at the time of visit. During May and June, the harvesting of green vanilla beans take place.

Thereafter, the green vanilla is traded at market places around the region where vanilla buyers compete with each other at auctions where farmers are represented by different cooperatives. These markets are regulated at government level who set the minimum price of vanilla depending on the year's harvest and anticipaded global demand.
