Madagascar enters a new phase of economic reform. According to the Prime Minister, the country is actively improving its business environment with a clear focus on transparency, competitiveness, and long-term value creation. Government actions are now centered on: * promoting high-quality products at accessible prices * strengthening the financial sector * encouraging innovation and fair competition * reducing market entry barriers for both large companies and SMEs 🔹 Economi

Education is a human right. Not an option. Not a privilege. On January 24, the world marks the International Day of Education. It is a reminder that education is a public good and a shared responsibility. According to  UNESCO , 250 million children are out of school, and 763 million adults remain illiterate. This is not about a lack of talent or willingness to learn. It is about systems that fail to reach those who need them most. In Madagascar, we see this reality every day.

Christmas at our vanilla plantations in Madagascar is more than a celebration. They are moments when hundreds of children come together - laughing, sharing dreams, and experiencing the magic of Christmas. For some, it is the first time meeting Santa Claus. For others, it is the first gift they have ever received. Moments like these unite the entire community and create memories that last a lifetime. Our greatest gift is witnessing the joy, smiles, and genuine emotions of chil

On January 12, 2026, the US House of Representatives approved the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which allows eligible African countries to export goods to the United States duty free. The AGOA extension has been approved for an additional three years, until December 31, 2028. This decision represents a major step in strengthening trade relations between Africa and the United States, while supporting sustainable exports, job creation and investment

Christmas in Madagascar is a time when everything revolves around children. This year, we returned to the schools we built and renovated to share not only gifts, but also attention, warmth, and hope with the children, teachers, and local communities. Santa Clauses, poems, laughter, and hundreds of shining eyes remind us why these moments matter so much. Seeing the happiness in children’s eyes - especially those who need it most - is the greatest meaning and the strongest moti

The year changes. The work continues. While many count results, we count days in the fields, in the warehouse, and with every single vanilla pod. Away from the spotlight, real things are built. This year was about patience, responsibility, and decisions that don’t seek attention. About a team that works quietly, but with purpose. We step into the new year without noise, but with a clear direction. Wishing you a year with less rush and more meaning in what you do every day. Ha

Behind the scenes, where real quality is built. In our warehouse in Madagascar, experienced specialists hand-sort every single vanilla bean. Speed comes with experience. Precision comes with responsibility. Quality is not an accident. It is daily work.

An evening with GEM in Antananarivo where  Aurelijus Useckas  and  Bertino Razafitsalama  were attending to represent  Vanileco . Top-level guests, professional organization, and valuable discussions. Sincere thanks to  Georges Geeraerts  for the high standard of organization.

Tiny seeds. A big story. This is where the true soul of vanilla is born. Take a moment and look closer… Because flavor starts right here

Vanilla is entering a completely new chapter in 2025. What we’re seeing today at FiE confirms it -brands are shifting from commodities to origin-controlled, transparent, natural ingredients. And this is exactly where Madagascar vanilla now stands strongest. For us, FiE is not a showcase. It’s where we bring our own production, our people, and our single-region model directly to the manufacturers who care about consistency and real traceability.

The Madagascar vanilla sector is entering one of its most dynamic periods in recent years. Here’s what’s shaping the market right now – and what it means for the 2025–2026 campaign: Strong 2025–2026 crop already harvested Last season’s production fell by more than 30%, but the 2025–2026 crop has now been fully harvested and confirmed as strong, with volumes aligned with earlier expectations. Beans are currently progressing through the curing and conditioning stages. This seas

The Ministry of Trade and Consumer Affairs of the Republic of Madagascar has officially announced the opening of the 2025-2026 vanilla export campaign, marking an important new stage for the country’s strategic vanilla sector. - Export season: October 15, 2025 - June 30, 2026 - New licensing requirement: All exporters must reapply for their export permits (agrément), including those who previously held valid licenses. - Application period: November 11-30, 2025 - Quality contr

One of our strongest values is complete traceability. Every vanilla bean has its own story – from flowering to export – and we ensure that every step of this journey is clear, documented, and carefully supervised. We are farmers who oversee everything from start to finish. Vanileco doesn’t just export vanilla – we grow, ferment, dry, and prepare it within our own farms in Madagascar. This allows us to guarantee that every batch meets the highest standards, with accurate and t

We’re reaching the end of this season’s green vanilla harvest. At VANILECO, we follow a clear principle: we only pick fully matured beans.  Patience pays off – ripeness is the key to natural aroma, deep flavor, and the highest quality. Right after harvesting, we move to the next crucial step – vanilla scalding (curing) – where the true character of the bean begins to unfold. Stay tuned as we’ll share more about this process soon. VANILECO – from soil to bean, with care and re
