Harsh weather conditions and drought caused a 90% loss of the 2011 crop. Vanilla beans are an annual crop that takes much of the year to grow and cure. Thus, Mexican vanilla is in short supply in 2012. We have learned that the 2012 crop is 10% of typical years possibly due to th stress of last years drought. There are some factions that are hoarding supplies. All this has the effect of forcing Mexican bean prices higher, but due to the nature of the vanilla business and the global economy, other origins are raising prices too. In theory, this is good for the farmers, but in reality the distributors and countries of origin are the ones profiting. To date we have been able to hold our prices by absorbing the price increases. So far, we have been lucky to obtain sufficient quantities of all our products. We will continue to strive to maintain our stock levels and hold prices at current levels. Our hope is that the next season will be better and thus relieve the strain on the vanilla business. back to top Copyright © 2003-2015 Boston Vanilla Bean Company All rights reserved.
