Madagascar's Vanilla Gold Rush

- Vanilla Slice: Prices for vanilla have skyrocketed in recent years, with some offering a 500% increase in buying prices. As a consequence, a gold rush has begun as farmers scramble to capitalise on the price increase.

At first I was like “oh that’s so awesome, vanilla is changing the world for the better and nothing bad is happening aside from some thefts.” but then the deforestation shit came up and I was like “... damn...”
the irony
the deforestation had already happened to that country long time ago.
Lighten up. Nobody denied America its destiny. They will figure it out.
North americans/europeans/Asians can have farms on their countries but africans and South americans have to preserve their florest
Madigascar is a large country with most of it untouched.
Wow, you have made me fall in love with Madagascar. I have no idea why I kept putting this place aside, but dearest, what a beautiful island and somehow it also gives me a Jamaican feel. And the people are so beautiful. As for vanilla, all the best to them and I hope their government helps them maximise the upturn in the cycle and saving for the future - and to become industrialists themselves.
What a good documentary well done, tbh I don’t think I’ve ever even seen those white silk lemurs before and I watch a lot of nature documentaries and similar stuff. Awesome, I hope the tour guide is able to cash out on the high prices with an even better crop
It's good that these people found an economic outlet. Hopefully, without outside and unwanted influence, they can add more ways to generate livelihood for other people living in Madagascar.
It would be great if Venezuela could do the same thing.
Inflation would be good to learn about, and also it would be good to know about overhead and profit margin so as to see how to make a solid GDP based structure for your country.
Don't become so reliant on one product or service to become self-sufficient and sustainable as a country. Even when prices are controlled, without some inventive and creative skill of mind-set, failing is almost certain. Look at oil...and now we have automation of labor...so when machines come to pick that vanilla....
Whoa...and with a view from above in video and knowing in Madagascar they have no working sewerage or plumbling...one bad flood can infest your entire crops of vanilla with deadly bacteria in one hard rainfall...levels are important to think of for a variety of reason here...drainage and direction of flow. You don't need Bernoulli's equation for that. Macedonians did this 4,000 years ago.
Good Luck.
Very articulated comment, you're a long-term thinker lol
Good for them for finding away to capitalize on their --- probably only -- natural resource. I wish we had vanilla in my country as a profitable crop --- instead we have frankincense. But nobody wants it, I mean it's not widely used as fragrance.
You’re looking too far ahead. Without adequate law enforcement, they will always be plagued by theft and the industry will not take off. If they don’t step up security, sooner or later, the farmers only option is to sell their land to foreign plantation companies who can provide private security.
I prayed for them. It’s going to work itself out. We should pray for one another.
And some white man wont come swindle them out the business like they always do african people.
Not to mention the fact that vanilla is naturally pollinated by one specific species of stingless bee in its native Mexico: Every single flower must be carefully pollinated by hand in Madagascar. This is just not a sustainable practice: They need to either import and protect that bee species to let them do that work or else find some mechanical way to do it.
You may have heard of the Mexican drug cartels... well meet the Madagascar Vanilla Cartel. They have vanilla street hustlas, corner hustlas, middle men, they even have rappers rapping about the vanilla cartel lifestyle. Vanilla shootas, vanilla theifs, vanilla gangstas, vanilla hittas, vanilla hoes, vanilla everything.
vanila ice would be popular rapper over there
You forgot they have Vanilla Ice 😂
Good for these people! May God bless these people with joy and wealth.
BAD, they are paid 1 euro a day, slavery this is!
I used to love smoking vanilla blunt wraps
brown trump 🤣🤣🤣
Do you like frankincense?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥v
@@mplsridah whats that
@Mad Max News why
Beautiful program I learned a lot vanilla
The locals should open thier own warehouse! Then get electric and plumbing!
Why are the people making the most money never from the actual Country? You see this stigma everywhere.
Innerstanding Because some cultures have “exploitation” in their blood. They use violence, and conniving to swindle unsuspecting cultures out of their goods and even their lives.
@@Danuxsy Don't make the same mistake as Europeans, leave them in Africa..
You can say it, why are they always WHITE.
We know why but globally we are going to fix that problem quite completely in the next 30 years.
Many reasons. However something important to remember, you always need to understand the markets you appeal to. A prime example of this is baby formula. In Australia you can buy it on the shelf for $20, and many Chinese buy it by the trolley load. The reasoning? In China it can be sold for up to 5 x the price. But the retailer has no understanding of that market and therefore misses that opportunity.
literally everywhere, and they have no attachment to what happens to the place they take from
So much hate and racism in the comments why can't we just stop and see the bigger picture?!? These people are trying to better themselves can we not just appreciate the video for bringing awareness to what's going on in Madagascar sheesh! 😩🙄
when you have what other people dont have then you should be rich
Well done! Captures reality nicely.
That middle man grown up on the street and now he towers above it - Legend!
Abdul I
Don't be naive and see beyond the lies. They portray the small men who get paid with vanilla bean for their work to feed their families as thugs and middlemen driving up the prices without a shed of evidence to support their baseless claims. Yet, they show the real Frenchmen who are the true middlemen and hustlers who hoard all of the vanilla beans, they show them as the employers and good company that supports the community. Common now, please see beyond your snout waryaahee.
@@SPharaoh nime kubali boss, by they way, I didnt think local huslers came cross as thugs. I this documentary was fair, plus locals need foreigners for out market access. And Its good that they are investing the monies real estate.
Abdul I
Locals don't need any foreigners for any market access. You must, you have have to understand to differentiate when the locals are desperate and need outside help and when the world needs your product to move. They're where they're needed more than they need at this point. However, as long as people are being like you and easily distracted they will miss the main point.
@@Abdul-Wa-Town they need education on foreign systems and languages, not foreigners to go there and profit from their hard work
Thank you for a wonderful adventure to Madagascar. I had no idea how or where vanilla came from. I have a greater appreciation for this delicious vine. God bless.
Very well done documentary! Keep it up man
They look like good people, I'm very happy the price is high and they live well. God bless them. Buy vanilla people, I do!

Nice to see a thriving African community. VANILLA FTW
they're madagascan loser

XD Every time I see a lemur I start singing that song! hahaha I'm glad it's not just me!
Excellent guide...
This is a cool video. I like to show my spoiled American kids what life is like in other countries to really appreciate the things they have. I had no idea how much went into making a vanilla bean.
Wonder if those women got a 500% pay rise ...
They probably did get a 500% pay raise..... because the farmers are making 5000% more this year.
You mean 5000%...
They all seem to have quality, healthy skin. Wow.
As opposed to what? Your skin? Are you a Leper?....
Probably climate, always sunny active life style and healthy eating...
Interesting comment, yet very on-point observation.
TM must be a black woman
Lack of vitamin D from not enough sunlight is a common cause for skin problems, especially in the northern hemisphere like Europe, Northern Asia and Northern America. It is the reason why we whites have light skin ... because our skin adapted to live in darker regions with less shiny climate. Africans living in those regions don't get enough vitamin D from the sun and need to compensate that through eating or extra sunbathing.
So how many vanilla do I need to get hi?
how old are you? haahah
Similar here in some of the islands here in the pacific what we grow so we sell in the local market is being stolen like bananas, coconut, taros, etc, you name it! Congratulations to this vibrant villages and people working to improve their lives
Nice documentary and beautiful Country
I gotta say, I didn’t want this documentary to end! Great job
Are you somalian
Yes
And ur providing them a good market Good marketing !!
Amazing how much like Ayisien music Madagascan music sounds! For a second there I thought it was Kompa! The people even look like some Ayisien.
imagine if we had smellovision already my nose would go crazy
Thank you for sharing. Very informative
24:01 what did you say?
"were looking at silver sufuckehrs" lol Dhoo Hwut?
Kudos to The @Australian Broadcasting Commision and the @Foreign Correspondent team. Love your work!
Super cool video.
Great video 👍
no wonder king julians a dictator. all that vanilla skrilla. so both vanilla and chocolate come from africa? they belong together in a glorious swirl
Terrific, very interesting video. Thanks.
Local council must improve the roads and create space for value processing of vanilla not "beer and sunglasses" please.
great video something cant believe
No electricity no water no sewage all packed tightly together but beautiful? I don think so lol
only people making money is the big companies milking this country.
Too many bloody ads
Beholder
Does this vanilla make it round the world? I have a hard time imagining the vanilla extract in my Haagen Dazs costs them $800 in raw material.
Haagen shit is garbage, it probably doesn't even use genuine Vanilla, just some artificial vanilla flavour. Get yourself some real handmade icecream instead, something that only uses genuine ingredients and no additives.
Beautiful country and people.
3:14 ALL THE NOSES WHO HAVE TOUCHED THE VANILLA BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE KITCHEN....
This looks great so far... The people are profiting from the "natural resources" of the area.
Damn, vanilla is like the new drug in town. like the cough syrup crisis in America, it spreads like wild fire. what if the vanilla boom comes crashing down, how many people will go bankrupt
Like narcocorridos, but about Vanilla! So gangster.
yum. and always interesting how vanilla stem from a family of beans....and yet its sweet and not savory
Vanilla is an orchid - not related to beans. They call the seedpods vanilla beans
i wonder whether this whole vanilla thing also influenced the local cuisine, do they eat a lot of dishes/desserts in which vanilla is used?
Who's the owner of the vanilla company that's exporting it in a country of madagascans? Of course....
I can provide Madagascar Vanilla with best price by LC payment mode through UAE Bank by Air shipment .

Exactly.
Better selling vanilla than drugs
Vanilla gang
Yoknos village seems fantastic.
*I have always know that Madagascar is a very rich country because it is a very big island and they probably benefit from tourism than my country*
They would be the best bud hustlers
We already have the best. Whos gonna buy from dodgy blackman from a 3rd world country. Oh the U.S, they have Mexicans.
One of the things that probably should do let's build Greenhouse, what's going up and then irrigate those so they don't devastate the land so badly
We gove them??? Lol. You mean you loan them funds against the crop.. Dont lie about the game.
I like this channel
Shit!!! I hope vanilla in my icecream hasn't touched that many hands and noses....
Wow I'll never look at vanilla the same again, 4 years what a investment,
The vanilla capital is Papantla, México, quality not cuantity.
Mexico is yesterday. The Madascar vanilla has the best flavour, ask any pastry/chocolatier chef. So stick to tequila, it's your best known brand.
Andrei Piatra we have a lot lot of things, don’t be ignorant.
@@nito85 Yes, but you don't have the best vanilla in the world. :))))
@Abraham Shekelbergstien Would say that about United States, but not about Mexico. Mexico has traditions, culture, you can't deny that.
@Abraham Shekelbergstien Really? That's so interesting, but at least you narrowed this traditions to something recognizable for Mexico. Americans are all over the place, a pot of every single culture on this planet, some sort of Babel tower. So, when you say that Mexicans dress like Americans, it can literally mean anything. haha
22:48 - Twelve km, 700 m ascent over five hours? That was hard?!?! You unfit, Adam!
Also did ya see the chick carrying like 5 tree trunks on the shoulder
🎶Vanilla slice slice baby. 🎶
Amazing only 250 Lima’s and you found them in less than a day! Either you have some great trackers or you’ve underestimated the number. All in all very good documentary. The people there all seem very friendly and very happy!
''Lima's''???? Facepalm....
The problem is they’re treating vanilla like drugs, works the same. It’s so pitiful, because of mismanagement of the land, mismanagement by the government they’ve ruined a once beautiful country and I’m not sure if it could ever be redeemed. And the pollution is so bad, the land so contaminated I’m not sure I would even want vanilla from Madagascar anymore. It’s not worth those prices.
Our people are scattered throughout the four corners of the earth and they are simply beautiful.
I am happy for the people of Madagascar.
Until the white man takes advantage of them...I havnt even started watching it lol, I spot one already.
Nice!
Awesome
oh how much I love that vanillur
Them women look good. I need to go there with some vanilla cologne the ladies would love me
😆😆😆😆

WD-40 is tthe best choice. Smells like Vanilla, can also be used as Lube. xD
@@ambosaim your jokes are rusty
his english is incredible wow! he has some advanced vocab
Vanilla vs Cannabis wich wins ? Somehow the people there look like they would even hustle with cucumbers
Wjy do a lot of them look like south east asians? Even more than Khoisan.
Because that's where the first people to populate the Island came from. After that Africans came over from East Africa. The two groups mixed and created their own culture.
@@McNaryMusic Nah ... it is more like the super contintent broke apart "not long ago" and we are being told bullshit.
Madagascar was first discovered and settled by sailors for Sulawesi, Indonesia about 600 AD.When I first heard Malagasy spoken I was surprised that I understood a few words, clearly it's a Austronesian language. Mabuhay mula sa Pilipinas.
@@stephencoleman3578 yes, that's correct
I love this story. Great beach party too.
I hope all that agriculture isn't irreparably destroying any native flora or fauna.....
vanilla was always expensive
They didn't want to talk without an advocate, for their village or town the image of their product matters
Wow, the music in this video they're all good. Can you list the titles?
VANILLA FOREVER
Coca-Cola company is one of the biggest consumer of vanilla
Vanilla is not the problem, mono-culture is. Whatever crop, it becomes a problem when overdoing it by disrupting the eco balance. Teach people to not outcompete all other plant species in any major area, and promote agricultural diversity instead so that people in developing countries can still profit, while keeping operations sustainable for better long-term income, environmental impact and trade conditions. Win-win.
Why did i think this vid was gonna be about farming gold in wow classic
They should pool their vanilla profits and build up infrastructure- schools- education - agriculture - technology. Why do these people tend to be so short sighted?
Then they can stress over the rat race and dream about living a life of meaning off the fat of the land.
@Bharat Pride
You talk a lot of shit for someone who literally couldn't feed themself without farmers.
You would starve to death without farmers, do you understand that?
It's called having a low IQ
Because aid hospitals only show up when there is crisis. Develop teaching hospitals in Africa and communism will die there.
@@rickmorgan9715 What a comment... "low IQ"... You didn't put forward any argument, but basically said "stupid" but phrased it to seem like you're not a jerk, which you are regardless.
So, expert, tell me how you'd explain the concept of "long term investment" or "infrastructure" to someone who happened to be born in a poor country whose whole exposure to life was the poor, simple life people their parents had and the whole generation in the past? And then explain how that even *remotely* relates to IQ.
Way smarter people like you said "the next Einstein could be towing the fields in a remote corner of Asia right now and never realize it, all down to circumstances" (paraphrasing).
But never mind the whole complexity of psychology, the effects of upbringing, environment, no schools, no confidence, etc, disregard all of that and simply call them stupid, you ignorant fool.
Slice, Slice Baby!
man, after watching so many "bad side of the world" documentaries, this one is actually great for them, yeah, deforestation is bad, but deforestation is everywhere in the world, even more in 1st world countries... so good for them!
my wish is to not label small business people from "poor" countries as hustlers because, if you look at it objectively, every small or big business reps from anywhere in the world hustle their goods.
hell ya they makin it this is great

The farmers technique was invented by a 12 year old slave boy. Now if he can do that, I'm pretty sure slaves did ALOT more. Slave knowledge is acknowledged.
Look at that. Capitalism and private business doing what the government couldn't. Providing jobs and growing the local economy. It's great to see!
Welcome to Metro Vanilla!
Oh, jobs created and money being made and the government didn't have to get involved in any way. Great job capitalism!
Just remember vanilla is black not white or cream....
Such talent! If he does not make it in music he can be rented out for a toilet cleaning brush.
