Vanilla is a well-known spice used in sweets, perfumes, and even medicines. It is made from the pods of vanilla orchids and grows best in hot, tropical regions. Since growing vanilla needs a lot of time and care, it is one of the costliest spices. Many countries produce vanilla, each giving it a special taste. Let’s look at the top 10 vanilla-producing countries in the world.
The global vanilla market was valued at USD 292 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a 4.7% annual rate from 2024 to 2032. The demand for natural vanilla is rising due to its use in banking, beverages and its health benefits, including antioxidant and antidepressant properties.
Madagascar is the world’s largest producer of vanilla beans, contributing about 80% of the global supply each year. In the northeast SAVA region, around 70,000 farmers carefully grow, pollinate and harvest vanilla orchids. This dedication makes Madagascar a key player in the vanilla industry, supplying this prized spice worldwide.
