Vanilla Marlet report - 2011
Aust & Hachmann (Canada) Ltd
...............worldwide demand for vanilla will be met by the current production estimates, but only just. This of course is based on the widely accepted but very difficult to prove global consumption number of 2500mt. Surplus vanilla inventories whether speculative or simply unsold have played a large role in keeping prices under control. It is common knowledge that almost 600mt of Industrial grade Madagascar vanilla beans from a speculative play now more than 3 years old still sits in a Northern European warehouse. This vanilla is now under control of the Rado Banking Group. In spite of this we believe the overall surplus of vanilla has shrunk considerably over the last few years and at one time was probably well over 2000mt

Vanilla Ice Cream, Ben and Jerry’s Icecream, Carvel Ice Creams: "Vanilla Ice Cream
What may be the first American recipe for vanilla ice cream, it was written in the same hand that penned the Declaration during Independence, is among Thomas Jefferson's papers at the Library of Congress. The vanilla flavoring Jefferson used in his kitchen, made from the seedpods of the rare tropical orchid [see 'Age and Beauty,' by Kenneth M. Cameron, June 2004], which had already been popular in few Europe for nearly three centuries. The Aztecs showed the Spaniards how vanilla might sweeten their chocolate and perfume their cigars, and the long, dark vanilla beans became part of the Spanish empire's rich colonial trade as early as the middle during sixteenth century."

The Hindu Business Line : Vanilla prices may gain on drop in Madagascar supply

The Hindu Business Line : Vanilla prices may gain on drop in Madagascar supply: "Vanilla output in Kerala has dropped significantly following pest attack in plantations at elevations below 1,500 ft. Mr Jacob said his company had discarded the plants in 25 hectacres due to the attack. The crop was good in areas at elevations above 1,500 ft, he said adding that in Karnataka it is grown at suitable elevations and hence, the crop has the output has been comparatively good.
According to the industry sources, a French firm, to ensure uninterrupted supply, had set up a vanilla processing unit in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, in 2003 and it produces 40 per cent of vanilla"

Related topics: Formulation
The political unrest in Madagascar, the world’s leading producer of vanilla, has highlighted the need for ingredients companies to diversify supply and eyes have turned to India as an alternative source.
Madagascar has witnessed the worst unrest it has seen in years with weeks of anti-government strikes and protests culminating in the resignation of President Marc Ravalomanana on Tuesday, and former DJ Andry Rajoelina appointed by the military in his place.
The French family firm Eurovanille, which has been sourcing vanilla from Madagascar for about 20 years, said that so far supply has not been affected.
Eurovanille, which exhibited at IFE09 (the International Food and Drink Event) in London this week, supplies vanilla pods, extracts and pastes"

By Andrew Noel and Antonio Ligi
March 19 (Bloomberg) -- The smell of success in this recession is Madagascan vanilla.
As cash-strapped consumers trade down to cheaper products, flavor developers such as Symrise AG say orders are rising for exotic vanillas and Brazilian citrus. Some large clients of Symrise, which supplies yogurt maker Groupe Danone SA and Christian Dior SA, are asking for aromas to make low-cost shampoo alluring as buyers switch from luxury items, Chief Executive Officer Gerold Linzbach said.
“The crisis has given people a more sober attitude toward expensive things,” Linzbach said in an interview. “The whole luxury segment has a big question mark next to it. We are concentrating on price-value levels which are sensible.”
The $21 billion flavors and fragrance market is bucking the deterioration in the wider chemical industry because consumers still need food and personal-care products. In the U.S. alone, sales will rise 3.7 percent annually to $5.3 billion in 2012, according to Ohio-based research group Freedonia.
That’s got aroma and taste creators sending perfumers and scientists to rural India to capture new scents and pick ingredients to make potato chips taste like curry.
Givaudan SA, based in Vernier, Switzerland, is the world’s largest supplier, followed by privately held Firmenich of Geneva and International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. of New York. Holzminden, Germany-based Symrise is the fourth largest."

Kochi: The recent political unrest in Madagascar is reported to have affected vanilla output of the world’s top producer and it, in turn, is likely to result in more demand coming to India, pushing up the prices marginally.
Stocks in Europe
According to industry sources, the Madagascar crop is estimated to be lower 5-10 per cent and the prices in the world market are, therefore, likely to move up by 10-20 per cent. Meanwhile, 700 tonnes of Madagascar vanilla stocks are said to be held in Europe"

India produces about 200 tonnes of cured natural vanilla annually, for which market has to be found. If ice cream manufacturers use this, it would be a big boost to the vanilla farmers who are facing a severe crisis due to falling prices.Ways to increase domestic consumption of natural vanilla was discussed and it was decided that the ice cream industry could provide a big help, However, natural vanilla is much costlier than synthetic vanilla. Spices Board was in talks with National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to see if Mother Dairy could procure more natural vanilla.The Union Health Ministry could also be approached for mandatory labelling of synthetic vanilla. In US and Europe, labelling is mandatory for synthetic vanilla which is being importedThere are about 50,000 vanilla farmers in the country. About 2,200 hectares in Kerala are under vanilla cultivation, 2,000 hectares in Karnataka and 800 hectares in Tamil Nadu.

2008-11-11T10:07:00.000-08:00

India gives boost to vanilla farmers: "According to the Indian ministry of commerce, the country supplies just two per cent of the global natural vanilla industry. Union minister for commerce, Jairam Ramesh, told reporters the Indian government is looking to promote domestic consumption of natural vanilla so as to bolster the industry in light of its small contribution on the global scale. The ministry particularly foresees boosting supply to the country's ice-cream industry.
At the same time, the Indian Spices Board is looking to gain the approval of the finance ministry in order to subsidize ice-cream manufacturers to use natural vanilla. As part of this plan, the Board would funnel 50m Indian Rupees (€0.9m) per year over a three-year period."

The Hindu Business Line : Vanilla prices losing flavour: "Vanilla prices losing flavour
G.K. Nair
On increased availability, limited buying

What they say
Production in countries, including India, will be on the higher side.
Given this scenario, if the demand fails to pick up, prices are unlikely to improve.

Kochi , Dec. 13 , 2006
Increased availability on the one hand, and limited buying on the other continue to push prices of vanilla down in the domestic and international markets.
Domestic production this year is estimated at around 200 tonnes of cured beans. But buying has been limited. Three companies have bought some quantity. Sales have taken place at Rs 60, Rs 30 and Rs 15 for the three grades of green bean, market sources told Business Line on Tuesday. Unremunerative prices during the past couple of years appear to have resulted in growers neglecting their plantations, they said.
Meanwhile, in the international market, Madagascar the world's top producer, has started selling cured bean at $15-18 a kg. There also the buying has been limited, industry sources said.
According to them, production is Madagascar this year is estimated at 1,800 tonnes. As buying was very thin there is likely to be a good carry forward stock for next year. The production in 2007 is also likely to be around 1,600 tonne. In which case, the availability next year would also be higher when the carry forward stock is added.
On other hand, production in countries, including India is also going to be on the higher side. Given this scenario, if the demand fails to pick up corresponding to the increase in production, prices are unlikely to improve even next year, they said. "

Dear M. SundaraRajan,
Thanks for your reply. Please help me in getting some information
on market prices just to keep informed, that will not cost me anything. The web page you recommended is great but to subscribe to the lowest price is US$800.oo !!!! ...per year. All I really need is to know from time to time how the market prices may vary. Remember that I havent yet started to grow vanilla as yet. I just want to keep track. Is this posible without subscribing??
Also, is there any info on how to extract coconut water from coconuts with equipment that is not too expensive? Is there a special 'formula' to extract the water without spoiling its natural properties? How can this be done in order to pack the water for sale to consumers? (not by Tetra-Pack!)
Once again, I'm appealing to your great advise, guidance and knowledge on these matters. Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Peter

Vanilla Market - Emerging opportunities
The price for A-grade cured vanilla beans might move up to $35-45 a kg in 2006-07.
The demand is likely to be 800-1,000 tonnes of high-quality beans this year.
Madagascar, the world's largest producer of vanilla, is estimated to produce 1,400 tonnes this year, while others such as Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are also projected to have a good crop
Production in India is estimated at 200-220 tonnes
The current price prevalent in Madagascar is $25-30 a kg & the growers there are reluctant to sell below this level. However, the trend in Papua New Guinea is different, where the farmers grow vanilla as a mix-up crop, and are offering at low prices.
The major buyers in the US are yet to become active in the market.
The marginal increase in demand indicates that the major buyers in the world market, mainly in the US, have depleted the stock.
Given this trend "the price might stabilise at remunerative levels in 2006-07

Rains in India affects Vanilla Plants
The rains have led to decaying of vines in some plantations.
The extent of damage would be known when harvesting commences full swing.
In some areas in Kerala and Karnataka the green bean is sold at Rs 110 - 130 a kg, far below remunerative levels.
There has been no demand from the international market even at $15 a kg
As market intervention, the Spices Trading Corporation Ltd (STCL) has reportedly offered to buy 3,000 kg of cured beans at Rs 1,500 a kg
the international demand for natural vanilla this year is projected less than 1,000 tonnes as against 2,500 tonnes in 1999, as major US buyers are yet to enter the market.

CZR Vanilla Corporation, incorporated in the US and India, has set up a pilot plant in Kerala to process and market vanilla beans and extract as per American standards.
The pilot plant, set up at Ranny in Pathanamthitta district, would market the beans and extracts in India besides exporting 30 per cent of the output to US and UK.The company, promoted also by two other Kerala planters, would procure beans from the farmers in Karnataka and Kerala directly to ensure quality.

East Sepik vanilla impresses buyer
A MAJOR buyer-importer has commended the farmers in Maprik, East Sepik province for growing chemical-free vanilla crops.Henry Todd, president of Zink & Triest, Inc, was in the country last week to visit vanilla farms in East Sepik.
He noted that the crops are being organically grown, unlike in other countries where crops are being bombarded with chemicals and fertilisers.“I commend the farmers on their ability to follow good farming techniques because I have not seen anything like that for years - even in other leading vanilla countries like Uganda or Madagascar,” said Mr Todd.He told farmers and exporters that the future of Papua New Guinea’s vanilla industry depends on all the industry participants and stakeholders, working closely together and producing quality vanilla beans.He said quality should never be compromised for quick returns.“In the long run, the industry and the farmers will be the loser”.“There are some simple but important steps to follow in order to keep the vanilla business alive in PNG and to compete on the world market,” he said.The first point he made was the importance of keeping the two main species of vanilla growing in PNG - Tahitensis (small leaf) and Planifolia (big leaf) - completely separate. “The two species should not be mixed together at any stage of processing or sorting,” Mr Todd stressed.While Tahitensis and Planifolia both have individual value, they are totally without value, when combined. This was especially pertinent in these days with a depressed world market. Mr Todd added the vanilla planifolia had many applications and was required in much bigger quantities for retail gourmet market and the extraction industries. Growing this species meant farmers had a better choice in selling, while Tahitnsis was mainly used for the gourmet market.He advised growers to harvest the beans individually when they became ready at eight to nine months and that proper curing method.

Why is vanilla so passionate and fashionable in the top restaurants around the world? Pastry chefs and culinary stars are passionate with vanilla. They are the best ambassadors and lovers of gourmet vanilla, using and delivering the great flavor of vanilla in the best recipes and dessert menus. Gourmet Vanilla is not only in the 3, 4 and 5 star restaurants, but also used by pastry chefs, creating new dessert menus with exotic fruity flavors along with vanilla .Is GOURMET VANILLA just a magic word, or is it a very professional definition of the product? Is it so much different from what the industry calls “Extraction Quality”? Vanilla is still the most popular flavor among the consumers. When it comes to a signature dessert Gourmet Vanilla is one of the purest authentic ingredients.

Dr. Frenkel gained expertise in the curing of vanilla beans. Traditionally green bean undergo a long and expensive process, lasting from 3 to 9 month. The traditional process depends on weather conditions and although lengthy, produces quality beans. A novel technology provides a short process, resulting in high quality beans. This process had been developed at Rutgers University few decades ago. During the traditional curing many of the flavors, such as vanillin disappeared. This process preserves most of the starting precursors

Vanilla 2005 Mexico, the International Symposium on the Vanilla Business will be in Veracruz, Mexico, the cradle of Vanilla planifolia. The meeting will be held, on November 15th-16th, at the beautiful, waterfront Fiesta Americana Hotel. Please see below for our meeting’s tentative program.

The Symposium will be preceded by two pre-meeting workshops, held on November 14th, dealing with Vanilla Quality Control and Vanilla Curing Technology.

The Symposium will also be followed, on November 17th, by a post-meeting field trip to a vanilla plantation, curing, processing, and an extraction facility in the region.

The organizing committee is working hard to bring to the meeting the latest information on the vanilla business. We are currently looking for new applications of vanilla products. The use of vanilla is endless. In the EU and the Middle East there is a growing trend of “back to home cooking.” New gourmet stores and cooking classes are becoming increasingly popular. The retail sales of vanilla are increasing, as is the use of vanilla. It’s not only for ice cream anymore. Vanilla can also be used in cosmetic products, and even for medicinal purposes Green beans are rich with special natural products, such as enzymes, sugars, fats, antibacterial properties, antifungal properties, and many more.

Vanilla prices unlikely to pick up this year
G. K. Nair
Kochi , Sept. 18
IF the current market trend is any indication, the prices of vanilla are unlikely to pick up this year despite a projected fall in production in Madagascar.
According to market sources, this year, vanilla output in Madagascar, which had an over-production last year, is estimated at around 600 tonnes. With a carry forward stock of 400 tonnes, the total availability in the world's largest producing country will be around 1,000 tonnes.
The new entrants into the vanilla business would fill up the void created by the decline in Madagascar's output. As a result, the total world production might remain unchanged at last year's level of 2,500 tonnes, the sources told Business Line.
Indian production will be around 120 tonnes and with a carry forward stock of 20 to 30 tonnes, the availability will be around 150 tonnes.
In fact, 50 per cent of the user industry, such as ice cream, biscuits and flavouring, in the top consuming countries (mainly the US) is yet to start using natural vanillin again. The major users are said to be holding stock for two years. "The blow of high cost purchase is so severe that it will take some time for them to revert," they pointed out. Therefore, the situation appears to be grim for the current year and even next year.
Harvesting in the coastal belts of Karnataka and Kerala has already started, while it will commence in the hilly areas in December. The sources add that there are no buyers at present, as they are waiting for a clear picture to emerge from Madagascar, which will start selling in January 2006.
The current situation reminds one of the 1994-95 season, when the vanilla prices dropped to $12 a kg through backdoor sales in Madagascar. In fact, before 1994, Madagascar, which was controlling the world market, was selling at $70-75 a kg. But after the change in Government through a coup, backdoor selling started and pushed the prices down. Thereafter, the price of vanilla moved up gradually to touch $500 a kg in 2003. Since then, it has witnessed a sharp decline and it is presently $15 a kg. In Papua New Guinea, gourmet grade is offered at $20 a kg. "The current overall situation does not look like promising," they said.
Indian exports during April-July this year dropped to 8.95 tonnes valued at Rs 2.42 crore from 14.16 tonnes worth Rs 22.26 crore during the corresponding period a year ago. The unit value fell to Rs 2,703.84 a kg from Rs 15,721.96 a kg. Exports in 2004-05 stood at 38 tonnes against 27 tonnes in 2003-04. The consumption of synthetic vanillin in the country is estimated at 500 tonnes a year, while that of natural vanillin is negligible. The consumption pattern of industries is: biscuits -11.50 per cent; ice cream - 4.80 per cent; perfumery/flavours - 27.90 per cent; Agarbathi - 52 per cent; pharmaceuticals - 2.80 per cent and miscellaneous- 0.1 per cent.

Vanilla Production on the Rise in India
KOCHI, SEPT 12: The harvest of vanilla already having started in the plains and those in the high ranges set to begin in a week or two, production of cured beans this year is expected to be around 200 tonnes, up by nearly 50%, according to Spices Board officials.
During last year, 43 tonnes of the commodity was exported and this was expected to be higher this year. Already moves had begun by growers’ venture Vanilla India Producer Company Ltd (Vanilco) to export a small amount of held-over stock.
It had also proposed setting up an extraction unit and has promised to begin procurement very soon. This has buoyed the hopes of the growers as several had held on to their stock last year on rumours that there would be higher price.
A crop failure in Madagascar the previous year had sent prices zooming to as high as Rs 4,000 a kg for raw beans which, according to trade sources was expected be around Rs 200 this year.
Given the estimates of cost of production of Rs 60 per kg, this the present price of Rs 200 or a shade lower should make this cultivation very profitable, they added. Though production in Madagascar would be around 1,000 tonnes, the high prices last year had made several growers there pollinate most of the flowers which could result in smaller beans whose quality would naturally be inferior. This should prove advantageous to India which had a better quality owing to higher burboun level in its material.
The harvest in Madagascar was coming to a close and by the end of next month, its crop would be ready for export. Indonesian material was not preferred in the global market as it was suspected to have mercury residues.
The Spices Board initiative of global marketing of its brand ‘Flavourit’ which includes vanilla would mean procurement from the growers which should ensure them of a market for their produce, said board officials.

Fragrance of vanilla in Mizoram

Silchar, Sept. 12: Buoyed by the success it reaped from the commercial cultivation of Anthurium flowers, Mizoram is all set to experiment with another non-traditional cash crop. The fragrance of vanilla will soon emanate from its gardens and spread to other parts of the country.
Sources in Aizawl today said the state’s horticulture department and the Centre’s Spices Board had drawn up a scheme for the development of vanilla crop in the state.
The pilot project envisaged the distribution of about 100 to 300 plants to farmers keen on growing vanilla.
Nearly 25,000 plants, being nurtured in a government nursery near Kolasib town, have been earmarked for distribution.
The director of horticulture in Mizoram, Samuel Rosanglura, said the state government would provide subsidies to the farmers as an incentive to grow the crop.
The cultivation of vanilla would be mainly concentrated in Kolasib district, which is located about 80 km north of Aizawl, the state capital. The low-lying altitude of the district and the temperate climate of the state are ideal for the growth of vanilla plants.
The All Mizo Farmers’ Union, a non-governmental organisation, will play a leading role in the cultivation of vanilla.

During January-March 2005, total value realisation from exports was Rs 4.97 crore according to Spices Board estimates. Meanwhile, ISCON was the largest exporter of vanilla during last financial year. Eco-Agri Research Foundation based in Mysore, which is sponsored by ISCON, had exported 24 tonne in 04 -05. This is 60 per cent of the total export of 41 tonne. Vanilla exports from India have posted a 90 per cent increase in quantity during last fiscal. According to latest estimates of the Spices Board, total export was 41 metric tonne in 2004-05. India fetched a higher average price than Madagascar, largest producers of Vanilla, at $47.30 for a kg. The highest price realised in the export market was $80 for a kg and 7.3 metric tonne of the total export-fetched value realisation between $60-80 per kg, said C J Jose, chairman, Spices Board.

Vanilla Buyer
03/06/2005 - Diversifying supplies and managing risk for the world’s most expensive, and popular, natural flavour, for the first time ingredients giant Danisco receives a batch of sustainable organic vanilla from an Indian monk, reports Lindsey Partos.The 1.2 ton batch arriving at the firm’s US flavour plant hails from a small 75m2 non-profit organisation in Bangalore, India.
The move by Danisco serves several purposes; spreading sources of vanilla can help to guarantee supplies and reduce risk; the ‘sustainable’ project ensures local farmers and workers receive all the earnings from the sales; and food firms can meet growing consumer demand for organic ingredients.According to Danisco, Jai Chaitanya Dasa, a Hare Krishna monk from a temple in Bangalore, India, is responsible for setting up a non-profit organisation that promotes organic and sustainable growing methods among local farmers, as well as managing the collection, initial processing and sale of vanilla pods.
Local farmers involved in the vanilla project receive 80 per cent of the earnings generated from the sale, and the remaining 20 per cent slice goes to the workers who process, sort and dispatch the vanilla.

Japanese company interested in Vanuatu beer & vanilla
By Tony Ligo - The IndependentPosted Wednesday, April 20, 2005
Reports from Vanuatu's representatives at the international expo hosted by Japan, Tom Kalo and Smith Tebu say a Japanese company Yioshi is interested in importing Tusker for a trial period.
There are also business opportunities for Vanilla exporters who attracted the attention of Japanese importers now demanding any quantity of the specific Vanilla, PLANIFOLIA, and according to the two representatives, exporters must act immediately, in particular the local company, Vanilla Premium Vanuatu.
Preparations are also underway for the Vanuatu national day to be held at the Pacific pavilion on Monday 1 August. Each country represented at the trade show is given a national day in which the whole trade show focuses on its activities. Gamagory city, Vanuatu's friendship city in Japan is prepared to host the official contingent to the national day celebration as well as provide space for storage of goods from Vanuatu bound for the trade show.
Containers loaded with artefacts and goods for the show arrived at Nagoya Port and ready for transfer to Gamagory soon. The friendship city also agreed to provide transport for up to forty mothers from Fresh Water who will perform dances two hours daily at the Vanuatu stand for seven to eight days.
Mothers and the Banks dancers who were selected last month will also tour schools and the city of Gamagory to perform. The representatives will do presentations at schools around the city about Vanuatu. Dancers visas are processed and the group will travel via New Caledonia.
The Pacific Pavilion attracts more visitors each day than any other, between 15,000 to 18,000 and course concern for other pavilions who complain of receiving only 3,000 to 7,000 visitors per day. According to Tom Kalo and Smith Tebu, machines do people count in each pavilion and the main attraction of the Pacific pavilion is its nature theme.

Spices Board of India in collaboration with Spices Trading Corporation Ltd (STCL), has started marketing "cured organic vanilla beans of gourmet grade" at $39 for a 100-g pack under its brand, "Flavourit." The price, according to Spices Board sources, is inclusive of all the expenses such as international courier charges, which range from Rs 400-900 per packet.
The board had bought 10 kg of organic cured beans of the superior grade from the lone producer in Mysore for introducing it in the world market. The demand for gourmet grade vanilla is estimated at around 200 tonnes mainly in Europe. This would fetch a premium price over the prevailing international price

Vanilla Market Today
Indian vanilla has been fetching around $35 to $45 a kg. Exports during April-February 2004-05 dropped to 16.2 tonnes valued at Rs 23.13 crore from 20.2 tonnes worth Rs 24.49 crore in the same period last fiscal. The average unit value has moved up to Rs 14,314 a kg in 2004-05 from Rs 12,094 a kg in April-February 2003-04.
The total Indian production is estimated at around 100 tonnes of cured beans. The processing companies holding the stock are slowly releasing it for export. Even major growers, who have processing facilities, had sold out their entire produce as green beans without going in for processing, probably to avoid any future risk
India is currently the sixth largest producer of vanilla and it has the potential of rising to the third position in the days ahead. The current crisis in the vanilla market due to the sharp dip in prices is temporary. The rationalisation of demand and supply is expected to happen only by 2008

Vanilla Curing Methods
Mexican curing methods: The two main traditional forms of curing employed in Mexico are thesun-wilting and the oven-wilting procedures. The former is the oldest known method of curing and the latter was introduced around 1850. Both methods are still widely used by the specialist curing firms in Mexico which process the vast bulk of the vanilla crop. The harvesting period in Mexico extends from November to January and curing by either method takes around five to six months before the product is ready for the market.

McCormick & Co. Inc
This Company is one of the biggest buyers of Vanilla Beans !
The company thought it was making a strategic move by spending $50 million to secure its inventory of vanilla, which is used in all parts of its business, and avoid paying higher prices later. At the time, the price per pound for vanilla beans had soared to nearly $240, but a year later a larger-than-expected crop pushed prices down to about $30 per pound.
A decision to buy beans at high price in 2003 helps cause 5.4% drop in profit

Vanilla Thieves !
Due to the value of vanilla, it trails a long history of robbery. For example, in Madagascar, where vanilla theft has been a serious problem for several years, growers started "branding" the individual green beans by poaching them. The markings remained after they were dried. In that way, suspected stolen beans would be distinguished by the specific tattoo

To prepare Vanilla Extract:
Use one vanilla bean for every 4 oz. of any clear liquor (vodka preferably). With a knife, split the bean open (always put your finger behind the knife). If the bean is hard, just break it into pieces. Then put the bean in the liquor. Close the bottle and leave it for about two weeks or until the vanilla bean aroma begins to come through. When you use the extract, if you don't want the vanilla seeds to show with the ingredients, use a coffee filter. You can return the seeds to the bottle. If you make ice cream, you may want to show the seeds in the finished ice cream You might shake the bottle several times a week to acelerate theextraction. Brandy may also be used for interesting variations According to US regulations, 1 l. of vanilla extract must contain a minimum of 100 gr. of vanilla beans

Largest Trader of Vanilla
Nielsen sells vanilla extracts to stores such as Whole Foods Market and Williams-Sonoma. Nielsen-Massey produces about 250,000 pounds a year of vanilla extract. The company's average annual sales are more than $10 million.
"Vanilla beans that we buy from them are always actually the best quality that I've ever seen. They are always really moist; our customers prefer them," said Jim Stockwell, owner of Spiceland Inc., a Chicago company that sells spices and other ingredients to high-quality restaurants.
Nielsen-Massey is known for products derived from a cold extraction process, a slow, gentle method, which has been followed strictly by the company since its birth.
While some producers use a heat-and-pressure process, which takes about three to five days, Nielsen believes this process is detrimental to the flavor. Nielsen's extraction process takes three to five weeks to produce a batch of vanilla, enough to fill about 21,000 4-ounce bottles.

For products where the flavoring is added prior to baking/cooking/heating, there is no distinguishable difference between imitation vanilla and real vanilla.
For products where the flavoring is added and no cooking takes place (ice cream, frosting, etc.), real vanilla is the product of choice.
you get the large bottle of synthetic vanilla and a small bottle of real vanilla.
Do a blind taste test and see what you prefer. You won't be able to tell the difference in the cookies and you may be able to distinguish in the hot chocolate. If you hate the artificial stuff, give it to someone. You will only be out a nickel.

Global demand for the spice is about 2000 to 3000 metric tonnes a year with the world market for vanilla beans highly concentrated in a few developed countries.
The United States, France and Germany account for 80% of world imports, the US consumes 50 to 60 per cent, and France and Germany between 10 to 15% each. These three countries are also major re-exporters of both vanilla beans and processed vanilla products.

Standards for vanilla are set by the Federal Food and Drug Administration. The only ingredients that can be used to manufacture Pure Vanilla Extract are vanilla beans, alcohol, water, sugar and/or corn syrup, and glycerin, which is used to retain flavor and deepen the color. No other ingredient is allowed in the production of a Pure Vanilla Extract.
While these standards control what can go into a Pure Vanilla Extract, they do not control the quality of the ingredients used. Thus, they do not dictate the grade and origin of the beans which determine the taste and quality of the finished product.
As established by the FDA, a gallon of Single-Fold Pure Vanilla Extract should contain the extractives of 13.35 ounces of beans at no more than 25% moisture content. A Two-Fold Pure Vanilla Extract should contain the extractives of 26.7 ounces of beans, a Three-Fold 40.05 ounces, and so on. After processing, the minimum alcohol content must be 35% and the vanillin content must be .11 grams per 100 ml. Anything less than these standards is labeled and classified as a Pure Vanilla Flavor, not as an extract.

FDA Definition of Vanilla

....... The term vanilla beans means the properly cured and dried fruit pods of Vanilla planifolia Andrews and of Vanilla tahitensis Moore.
......The term unit weight of vanilla beans means, in the case of vanilla beans containing not more than 25 percent moisture, 13.35 ounces of such beans; and, in the case of vanilla beans containing more than 25 percent moisture, it means the weight of such beans equivalent in content of moisture-free vanilla-bean solids to 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans containing 25 percent moisture. (For example, one unit weight of vanilla beans containing 33.25 percent moisture amounts to 15 ounces.) The moisture content of vanilla beans is determined by the method prescribed in “Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists,” 13th Ed. (1980), sections 7.004 and 7.005, which is incorporated by reference, except that the toluene used is blended with 20 percent by volume of benzene and the total distillation time is 4 hours. Copies of the material incorporated by reference may be obtained from the Association of Official Analytical Chemists International, 481 North Frederick Ave., suite 500, Gaithersburg, MD 20877-2504 .......

What goes in Vanilla Trade !
New vanilla council tagged as monopoly
PNG Spice Council
is a ploy to prevent growersfrom directly selling overseas
DAL vanilla expert Steven Mesa, an expert in vanilla at the department of Agriculture and Livestock, said he believed the council “is controlled by exporters … who don’t have any vanilla farm of their own”.
Mr Mesa explained four weeks ago, he silently brought in a vanilla buyer from the United States who was surprised to see the size of beans that grow here.“This fellow was taking photographs and was questioning if these were really the type of beans that are grown here,” he said.The vanilla buyer said that from information he collected from sources on the export of Papua New Guinean vanilla, he was surprised that the beans were brought first to Indonesia and mixed with Indonesian beans and then sent to the United States

Danish biotech company Poalis, in a ground-breaking move, says it has developed a new vanilla flavour using yeast and sugar which will be drastically cheaper than its chemical counterpart, and be better for the environment.
Around 15,000 tons of chemical vanillin is produced every year and market demand for a vanilla alternative is likely to remain strong due to the higher price of natural vanilla, which rose by 64 per cent between 1999 and 2003, coupled with vanilla’s position as the world’s most popular flavour used in a variety of foods and cosmetics.
The vanillin is produced as a by-product as the yeast breaks down glucose into energy. Poalis, which makes a range of aromas for the cosmetics and food industry, has been working on this biological production method for two years.

Try a different seductive flavor this Valentine's Day ...
only three varieties are used to flavor foods and beverages: Bourbon, Mexican and Tahitian:
• Bourbon (also called Madagascar) beans are long and slender, with a very rich taste and smell. They have a thick, oily skin, contain an abundance of tiny seeds and have a strong vanilla aroma. • Mexican beans are similar to Bourbon though they have a mellower, smoother quality and a spicy, woody fragrance.
• Tahitian beans, most prized and most expensive, are usually shorter, plumper and contain a higher oil and water content than Bourbon beans. The skin is thinner, they contain fewer seeds, and the aroma is fruity and floral. They are often described as smelling like licorice, cherries, prunes or wine.

Farmers to Continue Growing Vanilla
February 9, 2005
VANILLA farmers have vowed to continue growing the crop despite fluctuating prices on the world market.
In a meeting, which was attended by over 60 vanilla farmers at Mukono Agricultural Centre at Ntawo recently, the farmers said vanilla was first sold at sh500 per kilo before the price rose to sh100,000 due to high demand on the world market.
They said the high price was due to the scarcity of the crop
The farmers said vanilla currently costs sh5,000 per kilo, which is not a bad price although growing the crop is costly.
The chairman of Uganda Vanilla Exporters Association, Aga Sekalala Senior, appealed to farmers to improve the quality of vanilla to access big international markets.
"If Uganda's vanilla is good for the export market, then the price and demand for it will be high. This will increase foreign exchange earnings hence improving farmers' incomes," Sekalala said.
