With the entrance of Emirates Air Cargo into the market, and with the vanilla price in the countryside between the bush and coastal collection houses between 110,000 Ar and 140,000 Ariary per kg, vanilla is steadily and stably cheaper than last year and flying out in high quality apace with production, with rumors of a big flowering season to follow.
Madagascar is on the United States’ AGOA list this year too, meaning vanilla, spices, and some handicrafts from Madagascar can all merrily march in the door tax-free as long as they file the commensurate FDA procedure and ship with the origin documents (automatically in the outbound file set of all vanilla exports.)
