Vanilla is a variety of orchid and it is the second most expensive spices in the world. from the 20000 of orchid, vanilla is the only orchid we use for foods.

    Hi,
    Thanks for this great article. We are running a tourist resort in Kalpitiya and we would to like grow vanilla just to show it to customers, no need for high yields. We just would like it to grow and ideally to bloom and give beans. Can you recommend something? Thanks a lot.

      In Sri Lanka, We grow Vanilla planifolia as same as other Vanilla growing countries. Therefore, you can buy the same grades from Sri Lanka too. We process Grade A vanilla beans as well as Grade B vanilla extract grade.
