The supply chain for vanilla is formed starting from the farmers, to the cooperative society and finally to the traders/exporters. The cooperative group receives a quoted price from a farmer who has already factored in profit. The cooperative group adds profit, transports the goods to the port, and then exports them.

-Farmers -> Cooperative society -> Traders/Exporters

-There are 3 main farming regions, of which most of the products are for export purposes

-Farmers don’t have the documentation so they need a trader or an exporter

-A cooperative society gets a quoted price from the farmer where the farmer had already added the profit. The cooperative society adds profit and brings the products to the port then exports.

-The cooperative society invites other farmers to join so they increase in number along the way.

-The growers are mid-sized and it’s not a big industry.

-Exporters are leading companies in that industry and they export other products than vanilla.

-Farmers cure and dry the vanilla beans after harvesting. They have their own facility. They do it under the shade
