What’s the type vanilla grown in Sri lanka? Is it panifolia only? What’s the popular type?
admin - May 18, 2020
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.

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.
