uganda vanilla bean
Harvesting, curing, packaging and grading
Harvesting of Uganda vanilla commences after the pods turn from the usual deep green color to pale green from the deep green color. Pods containing a hint of yellow on the tips are also harvested. This whole process comes 6-9 months since the flower blossoming date.
Usually skilled workers are contracted to carry out the exercise. They hand pick each pod one after the other by gently detaching it from the stalks. The pods are kept in baskets placed under the shades. After a week they come back and pick any pods that might have matured fully in the past seven days.
Curing and grading takes place the same day of harvesting. Longest beans with the highest vanillin spice margins are placed in grade 1. Grade 2 vanilla measure 10-15 centimeters in length while those in grade three measure 15 centimeters. Split beans are set aside for local use later.
Curing vanilla entails cleaning thoroughly in pure water. The ‘killing’ process follows where the beans are soaked in hot water at 70 degrees Celsius for 2-5 minutes. They are then placed in wooden crates fitted with a blanket interior after passing them through the ‘sweating’ stage.
They are left there under temperatures conditions of 50 degrees Celsius for two days whereby they turn into a golden brown hue. The seeds usually emanate a pleasant odor.
The final stage involves drying Uganda vanilla in the tropical sun. In a process that could go for up to two weeks they are dried over a dark blanket that enables them to absorb moisture. After that period, moisture levels usually reduce by 35 percent. The color of the beans usually has turned glossy brown while the scent is magnified.
To impart better changes and ensure they are declared ready for packing, the beans are dried further at 35 degrees Celsius coupled with saturation levels of 70 percent.
In their dried form, Uganda vanilla beans are packed in bundles weighing 150 grams. Alternative bundles weigh 250 grams. Natural fibers are used to tie them carefully. Metallic boxes or wooden boxes are used to package the bundles usually fitted with wax paper linings. With the wax linings, Uganda vanilla can preserve its awesome aromatic condition for at least 60 days. Labels are placed on the cargo indicating source, net weight, name and destinations.
Using our refrigerated trucks temperature levels of 5 degrees Celsius are maintained in the course of transporting Uganda vanilla to the Kampala International airport for airlifting
History of Uganda vanilla
History of Uganda vanilla
Uganda has a -quality Uganda Vanilla available for it's local market and export markets. Uganda vanilla is mainly mostly grown on a small scale by Family growers with less than 2 acres or some with several small tracts of land are the main sources of the raw fresh Uganda vanilla scattered across the country.
Introduction
Uganda vanilla is one of the principal exports for the country. This is because Uganda is high ranked as among the best five biggest vanilla supplying countries in the world. Initially, vanilla is the most expensive spice save for saffron which is the most expensive export and spice in the whole world. It is rare to come by this plant and some of the few places its grown include Madagascar, Mexico, China, France and Indonesia.
Uganda vanilla is a meal flavoring plant, characterized by thick, flat leaves that are similar to those of orchids. In fact vanilla belongs to the orchid family together with the blood orchid.It is basically that spice that emanates from the plants’ pod. This spice is produced by the dried bean fruit which gives it an amazing aroma wanted by the desired by the planet.
Vanilla is a mult-purpsed plant serving numerous importances which include making of perfumes, aromatherapy and as a flavoring agent for baked products.of fact if you're a bakery owner either in africa, europe, america, consider kilembe vanilla exporters as your needed dependant as far as providing vanilla is concerned.
History
Vanilla is believed to be rooted in Mexico way back the ancient times. According to a common myth a long time ago a goddess wedded a human being and upon their death vanilla grew where they were buried, this was a way to wish them eternity and respect. Hower, another historical version States that the plant was brought by colonialists in the Indian Ocean islands ranging from those of Madagascar and Mauritius in 1819 from where it was spread to neighboring countries like Tanzania. For Uganda's case however, it's believed that the plant was introduced directly to Uganda by the british colonialists in the early 1940s. It was first cultivated in Salama Estate farm located in Mukono district, one of the three farms which belonged to the British farmers who later scatters the plant to several Uganda farmers in kooja parish in the year 960's.
It should be remembered that the fact of disseminating this plant into various regions was because, the british wanted to increase it's production in the entire country.
Export value and benefits
Until 2016, Uganda recorded vanilla exports ranged between 0.65- 75.4 tons every year. The Vanilla plant is such a highly beneficial commodity and its prices have been steadily soaring in the last three years, save for this 2020 where covid-19 has affected it's price and demand internationally. The year 2020 would be comparable to 2014 where the prices were unbelievably low not only in Uganda but also in madagascar and Else.
However, Due to the handsome prices and demand Vanilla is commanding in the market places, buyers decide to use synthetic flavors and it nearly led to the collapse of the sector. The sector has since stabilized with prices going up with each passing year by. One of the main reasons which has uplifted the appeal of Uganda vanilla is the growth of the plant via natural means. Farm-gate prices are currently about $70 dollars for every kilo while. Subsequent prices at the world market stand at $500, an increase of $200 when compared to 2017 prices. Projections released by the Uganda Export Promotions Board indicate the country’s total exports for 2018 could hit 100 tons. Last year they exported 75 tons of Uganda vanilla.
The main challenge farmers are facing at the moment is theft of the crop whereby the farmers are forced to safeguard thier Vanilla using armed forces who are hired and in doing so, they incur a lot of costs in maintaining the guards up to the end of season. It's should be noted that the government promised to increase security in vanilla growing areas. Local authorities and state owned authorities are working tooth and nail to make sure that the s securit of the farmers are guaranteed and also making sure that they regulate the farmers and harvesting date which will ensure production of quality Vanilla beans best to compete the madagascar beans.
It's on record and therefore noteworthy that madagascar is the leading producer of vanilla in the world ,whose products out put is 1600 tones per year.
Vanilla contains a lot of nutritional ingredients. It constitutes mineral margins in small bits that form the bulk of the plants nutrients. Research shows that it's consumption generates the body 4% of potassium. It as well aides the body to provide balanced supply for blood electorates .
Each serving of vanilla comes with 3 percent magnesium that helps in bone strengthening as well as 1% calcium essential for strengthening the enamels of the teeth. Its carbohydrates daily value of 4% provides the body with energy which is a characteristic that is boosted by the low fat content of vanilla. The total calories count of vanilla stand at 288.
Growing conditions and sources
Family growers extensively farm Uganda vanilla in tracts less than two acres. To ensure they grow the plant using organic means they apply farmyard manure. The growers avoid any usage of chemical sprays or synthetic fertilizers because they lower its quality.
Uganda vanilla is grown in districts like kasese, jinja,kamuli, mukono,luweero, mpigi,kayunga and bundibugyo.Mukono, Jinja, Kamuli and masaka districts.

Reasons for soaring of Uganda vanilla beans.
Reasons why Uganda vanilla prices keep soaring.
Category: Indicators, Trade Data
Vanilla today, commands a very high competitive prices on the global markets compared to silver. This is because the plant is facing a very steep demand with a remarkable limited supply of the spice. However, this demand is as well attributed to the raise in demand of all natural spices like saffron and the others on the world market.
Thought the world is hit by the covid-19 pandemic, it's statistically believed that the prices of both saffron and vanilla will not over waver like other products have faced it.
According to global trade braces for epochal, Uganda vanilla and madagascar's vanilla will stand to challenge the test of time and it's prices will steadily stabilise than prices of Vanilla from any other regions.
This is because the these countries have not been gravely affected by the covid-19 pandemic unlike other countries like France, Mexico and China whose damages due to covid-19 are irreparable.
Notably, prices for Uganda vanilla may change but not that so much and it's likely pick up after a short period of time, due to increased demand and improved quality since the government regulates the growing and harvesting if the plant.
According to the ResetTrade Policy Shifts USA, the cost of this summer’s ice cream cones will be too high which shall call for the demand of the vanilla beans globally.
As of the end of March, vanilla prices had reached $600 per kilogram, well past silver selling at just above $530/kg, as the Financial Times reports. Vanilla prices had previously reached the record $600/kg last year as a terrific cyclone totured the crop on Madagascar. But a remarkable forecast on the 2018 harvest had eased prices to below $550/kg as the year wound down.
Now vanilla prices will be soaring again, in Uganda and madagascar and this is highly attributed to the favorable climatic conditions likely to be experienced by the two sister crop growing countries. It should be noted that weather holds an unwavering monopoly on the growth and drying of vanilla.
Why Uganda's Weather Forecast Lifts Vanilla Prices.
It's known as a reality that there are plants whose goodness and quality is determined by the weather or environmental conditions in which it prevails. And so is vanilla, the weather forecasts of Uganda like that of madagascar, tends to spar the increase in prices of commodity. This is principally because good weather assures good harvests and quality Vanilla which is an ideal for export.
It should should remembered that the real reason for the now best glorified high prices of vanilla were as a result of abandonment of vanilla growing in madagascar in the 2000.
The abandonment were as a result of low prices ($20/kg) which forced farmers to substitute vanilla growing to growing of more profitable crops. Remembering the hard work of planting and harvesting vanilla which involves pollinating it by hands, harvesting it by hand, sorting, grading by hand and sun-drying, all that was labour intensive however, it did not pay the price of it's own hard work and farmers had to quit farming it.
This created an unprecedented raise in the vanilla demand because of the scarcity of the plant but slack was taken by synthetic vanilin.
Tastes, however, have since changed. Consumers want, and food companies have committed to products made from “all-natural” ingredients. (Ironically, the Economist notes, food companies re-introducing natural vanilla are also reworking their recipes to mimic the synthetic tastes to which their consumers have become accustomed.)

Reasons for soaring of Uganda vanilla beans.
Reasons why Uganda vanilla prices keep soaring.
Category: Indicators, Trade Data
Vanilla today, commands a very high competitive prices on the global markets compared to silver. This is because the plant is facing a very steep demand with a remarkable limited supply of the spice. However, this demand is as well attributed to the raise in demand of all natural spices like saffron and the others on the world market.
Thought the world is hit by the covid-19 pandemic, it's statistically believed that the prices of both saffron and vanilla will not over waver like other products have faced it.
According to global trade braces for epochal, Uganda vanilla and madagascar's vanilla will stand to challenge the test of time and it's prices will steadily stabilise than prices of Vanilla from any other regions.
This is because the these countries have not been gravely affected by the covid-19 pandemic unlike other countries like France, Mexico and China whose damages due to covid-19 are irreparable.
Notably, prices for Uganda vanilla may change but not that so much and it's likely pick up after a short period of time, due to increased demand and improved quality since the government regulates the growing and harvesting if the plant.
According to the ResetTrade Policy Shifts USA, the cost of this summer’s ice cream cones will be too high which shall call for the demand of the vanilla beans globally.
As of the end of March, vanilla prices had reached $600 per kilogram, well past silver selling at just above $530/kg, as the Financial Times reports. Vanilla prices had previously reached the record $600/kg last year as a terrific cyclone totured the crop on Madagascar. But a remarkable forecast on the 2018 harvest had eased prices to below $550/kg as the year wound down.
Now vanilla prices will be soaring again, in Uganda and madagascar and this is highly attributed to the favorable climatic conditions likely to be experienced by the two sister crop growing countries. It should be noted that weather holds an unwavering monopoly on the growth and drying of vanilla.
Why Uganda's Weather Forecast Lifts Vanilla Prices.
It's known as a reality that there are plants whose goodness and quality is determined by the weather or environmental conditions in which it prevails. And so is vanilla, the weather forecasts of Uganda like that of madagascar, tends to spar the increase in prices of commodity. This is principally because good weather assures good harvests and quality Vanilla which is an ideal for export.
It should should remembered that the real reason for the now best glorified high prices of vanilla were as a result of abandonment of vanilla growing in madagascar in the 2000.
The abandonment were as a result of low prices ($20/kg) which forced farmers to substitute vanilla growing to growing of more profitable crops. Remembering the hard work of planting and harvesting vanilla which involves pollinating it by hands, harvesting it by hand, sorting, grading by hand and sun-drying, all that was labour intensive however, it did not pay the price of it's own hard work and farmers had to quit farming it.
This created an unprecedented raise in the vanilla demand because of the scarcity of the plant but slack was taken by synthetic vanilin.
Tastes, however, have since changed. Consumers want, and food companies have committed to products made from “all-natural” ingredients. (Ironically, the Economist notes, food companies re-introducing natural vanilla are also reworking their recipes to mimic the synthetic tastes to which their consumers have become accustomed.)

Types of vanilla beans

How to Tell the Difference Between the Various Types of Vanilla Beans.
Classifying different types of vanilla beans can mean different things to different people. There are, in fact, a myriad of ways to categorize vanilla beans. We can break them down into species, and place of origin, and grades. Let’s take a look at the most common types of vanilla beans and examine what makes them unique from one another.
Species of Vanilla Beans
While in the grand scheme of things there are many types of vanilla beans, there are only two main species of vanilla orchid cultivated for commercial vanilla production.
Vanilla Planifolia
Vanilla Planifolia is the most common species of the vanilla orchid. It is the first species of vanilla orchid— the plant that all vanilla roots can be traced back to. The pods host vanilla caviar emitting a rich, familiar vanilla flavor and aroma. It is the more potent vanilla variety and easily infuses a deep, earthy, vanillin flavor into any dish.
Vanilla Tahitensis
Vanilla Tahitensis is a very close cousin of Planifolia. It is named after the island upon which it’s commercial cultivation began, though its origin is debated among botanists and vanilla enthusiasts. Some claim it was intentional hybridization, others believe it was a natural evolution, and there are scientific research studies that suggest it was a bit of both—a natural hybridization between Vanilla Planifolia and Vanilla Odorata, which occurred in Maya cacao forests. Regardless of how Vanilla Tahitensis came to be, pastry chefs all over the world would be at a loss without it. It is prized for its subtle sweetness and unmatched floral properties. Vanilla Tahitensis is also more commonly found in fragrances, due to the floral aroma.
Types of Vanilla Beans, Based on Origin
Pretty simple, two types of vanilla bean species—one strong and earthy, the other subtle, floral, and sweet. But it gets more complicated because the vanilla orchid has been brought to tropical regions around the world and is now being cultivated in various growing regions and using a multitude of growing, harvesting, and curing methods—all of which contribute to varying flavor properties. Let’s take a look.
Mexican Vanilla Beans
All vanilla beans can actually be traced back to the Mexican Vanilla Planifolia. Today, Mexican vanilla beans are still primarily the Planifolia variety. They are the perfect addition or pairing for chocolate, full-bodied, smooth, and somewhat spicy.
Madagascar Vanilla Beans
Madagascar vanilla beans (beans in the center of the image) are commonly known as Bourbon vanilla beans because of the region in Madagascar in which they are derived. Since most Vanilla Planifolia comes from this region, Bourbon Vanilla is commonly used synonymously with the Planifolia species. They are quite often described as creamy and rich in vanillin flavor and are the most common type of vanilla bean found in commercial pure vanilla flavors. Bourbon vanilla beans are now cultivated in many regions beyond Madagascar.
Tahitian Vanilla Beans
Tahitian vanilla beans (bean on the far left in the image) are much shorter and plumper than their Bourbon cousin, and practically bursting with vanilla seeds. They are delicate and sweet with floral undertones and notes of red wine, peach, and cherry.
Ugandan Vanilla Beans
Though not nearly as common as the first three types of vanilla beans we mentioned, Ugandan vanilla beans (beans on the far right in the image) should not be overlooked when making a purchase decision for your culinary products. They land somewhere in between Mexican and Madagascar beans, with an intoxicating and buttery vanillin flavor and aroma reminiscent of chocolate and figs.
Papua New Guinea Vanilla Beans
Much like the Ugandan variety, Papua New Guinea (PNG) vanilla beans are under-represented in the vanilla realm but are quickly gaining traction. Both Vanilla Planifolia and Vanilla Tahitensis are commonly grown in PNG, with the Bourbon variety contributing a well-balanced richness with buttery, caramel undertones, and the Tahitian variety emitting a dark yet subtle, oaky flavor with cherry undertones.
Indonesian Vanilla Beans
It's wild to me that Indonesian vanilla beansare not spoken of more often. After all, Indonesia is the second largest producer of vanilla in the world, second only to Madagascar. The distinctive curing process used in Indonesia contributes a deep smoky flavor that holds up remarkably well in heat applications.
Grades of Vanilla Beans
There are two primary grades of vanilla beans, Grade A and Grade B. Though some people go as far as to further segment them into subgrades (grade A-1, A-2, etc…).
Grade A Vanilla Beans
Grade A vanilla beans are also known as gourmet vanilla beans or premium vanilla beans. They have a much higher moisture content than the grade B variety, which means the vanilla flavor will quickly infuse into a dish. Gourmet beans have an obvious oily sheen on the pods and are visibly perfect in form. They are the perfect choice for culinary projects that do not require a long infusion process.
Grade B Vanilla Beans
Grade B vanilla beans are often referred to as extract vanilla beans because they are primarily used for making vanilla extract. Extract grade vanilla beans will often have bruising, scarring, or tearing on the pod, varying lengths, and maybe even some scorching from the sun. These imperfections do not harm the integrity of the vanillin flavor but do make them less desirable by chefs around the world. They have approximately 10-15% less moisture content than gourmet vanilla beans, which means a more concentrated flavor, making them the perfect choice for extracts, simple syrups, and dishes that can withstand a longer infusion process.
While these lists are not absolutely inclusive of every type of vanilla bean, they do give insight into the primary beans found commercially. Our hope is that this article helps you understand how to tell the difference between the various types of vanilla beans and make an informed decision prior to buying vanilla beans for your next project! Here's another article that can assist you in understanding what to look for when buying vanilla beans online.
