What are the main vanilla-producing countries?

Vanilla, a highly sought-after spice, is grown in various regions around the world, but a few countries stand out for their production. Here’s an overview of the main vanilla producers.

Madagascar is the world’s leading producer of vanilla, accounting for over 80% of global production. Madagascar’s “Bourbon” vanilla is famous for its exceptional quality and rich aroma. The regions of Sambava, Antalaha, Vohémar, and Andapa—known as the “Vanilla Triangle”—enjoy an ideal tropical climate and traditional expertise.

Indonesia, the world’s second-largest producer, stands out for its vanilla’s woody, smoky flavor, thanks to unique drying methods. While it’s less sought after than Malagasy vanilla, it plays an important role in the market, especially for processed products.

Uganda has become a significant player in the vanilla market, valued for its high vanillin content. Its favorable climate and twice-yearly harvests allow for the production of quality vanilla beans, attracting international markets.

Mexico, where vanilla originates, is known for its sweet and spicy aroma. Although its production is modest compared to other countries, Mexican vanilla—especially the Vanilla planifolia variety—remains highly sought after for luxury products.

Though less productive than Madagascar, the Comoros and Réunion also produce high-quality vanilla, often called “Bourbon.” Their climate, similar to Madagascar’s, is ideal for cultivating this precious orchid.
