The Ministry of Trade in Indonesia has highlighted vanilla as one of the most valuable agricultural products grown in the country, with prices reaching Rp. 9 million per kilogram. This makes it a significant economic asset and has earned it the moniker 'green gold'. In 2018, vanilla beans were sold for US$650 per kilogram, but prices fell to US$200 per kilogram in 2020. This is in contrast to the world coffee price of US$2.2 per kilogram and cocoa beans, which were valued between IDR 25 - 35 thousand per kilogram in the same year. The Ministry of Trade noted that Vanilla Planifolia, one of the 110 types of vanilla plants, is widely used in the processed food and beverage industry and is a key export commodity for Indonesia. The vanilla plant is used to produce value-added products such as extracts, oleoresin extracts, and powders, which are then used in the culinary industry, perfumes, cosmetics, herbs, and essential oils.
