One hundred and forty-one operators have been approved to export Madagascan vanilla during the 2026-2027 season, with the aim of expanding markets and boosting competition in the sector, L’Express Madagascar reports.
Nearly 500 applications concerning vanilla and cloves are still under review by the Ministry of Trade and Consumer Affairs. The increase in the number of exporters is expected to reduce monopolies and give producers more opportunities to sell their harvest.
