VANILLA FARMING - TONGA

Talk Business kicks off the new year with a 4 part series on various agro- based industries in the Kingdom of Tonga.
We showcase the growing vanilla industry and how farmers there are joining the trade to export the lucrative commodity.
Join Rachna Nath on her journey as she explores how Vanilla is grown, cured and made ready for the export market.

Greetings to all of us vanilla farmers from Indonesia🇲🇨

[@Sundardevsaha-e3k]

Loved learning about vanilla growing. Thank you for such a delightfully educational video on Tonga and vanilla!

[@TalkBusiness]

+Chris Murphy Glad to hear that!! Keep a look out for more episodes of #TalkBusiness on this KZbin Channel!

+CleeIII Thanks for the feedback!!!

[@theresaraess1408]

Thank you, very interesting to learn about this marvelous flower and the intense process to acquire this spice. For sure one appreciates these wonders of nature much more when one learns about the work that goes behind it and how the people really care about the product. ;-)

Nice! I once investigated the possibility of moving to Tonga to start a farm. I'll be ordering my vanilla from these guys soon. I checked out their site, and they sell it at a reasonable price so long as you stay away from the value added products. When I get my farm started in central California, I'll give vanilla a try. Probably only a small number for personal use in the greenhouse with the pineapple and banana trees. It always amazes me how much work goes into stuff the average person takes for granted at the grocery store. Vanilla looks like it's pretty labor intense, but no where near as bad as cashews. Oh my god, I can't believe all the work put into harvesting cashews!!!

That guy from the EU can go suck a bag of 'you know what' though! Damn socialist taking in circles with his circular collectivist logic.

[@GeeaRCee]

I have no back ground on agriculture, why do we need to pollinate each flower? What happens if the flowers weren't pollinated?

[@jburtonca]

The plants will not produce pods if they are not pollinated. It's the same with apples, cherries etc. Vanilla originates in the Gulf coast of Mexico. In Mexico there is a type of small bee that pollinates the vanilla flower. There were attempts to introduce these bees to other regions where vanilla could be produced, but for some reason they did not survive. For this reason the vanilla flowers must be hand pollinated.

[@Carboncluster]

That is super interesting! What is the name of the bee?

[@jburtonca]

Carboncluster They are small stainless bees from the Melipona genus.

[@wilhelminemorris7946]

I live in central Mexico and I have many plants. I have lots of vanilla pods every year but I have to hand pollinate my flowers to get the beans. Unfortunately the bees are going extinct...

[@dr.chandranair6715]

Good

[@ppmobile6252]

Hello boss could you send vanilla to me i need plant it

[@inegahrata9172]

👍❤️

[@Drakemiser]

I hate when people call things that are simple or boring, "vanilla". Do they know what goes into growing this plant!?

[@aishasoobratty7700]

Well, I do have a vanilla plant . It's growing on a wall made of stone . It's 2years since it's growing. Can u tell me please when it's going to flower? Thank u

[@wilhelminemorris7946]

Your plant has to be at least 7 meters long before blooming. Mine took five years. The first year I only had three beans because hand pollinating is not that easy. Last year I had over 50:flowers but got only 17 pods.. I am now curing my pods..

[@marianmutumba-ssali2182]

How is curing done? I have only 3 with beans and it is not a lot to look for market

[@buddhikaroshan9095]

කියන දේ මට ඇහෙන්නෙ නැද්ද නැත්නම් කියන්නෙ නැද්ද

[@wilhelminemorris7946]
