Global Projects

 
Putumayo, Colombia
VANEX, in collaboration with Chemonics International, is providing planting material and technical expertise to substitute coca production with a more viable crop. Product expected: 2008
Papua New Guinea
VANEX is assisting and supporting over 7000 farmers in Papua New Guinea. The PNG farming community has used personal resources to build up an industry that will replace Madagascar in the years to come. Sustainable planting methods along with Rainforest Vanilla ® registration has made this region one of the most successful on the planet.
Haiti
Our efforts in Haiti are just beginning. Since there is little rainforest left in Haiti, we are encouraging women's groups and school children to learn reforestation practices through vanilla.
Costa Rica
Rainforest Vanilla is currently grown in the Atlantic area of Costa Rica. Rainforest Vanilla plantations are characterized by their rich biodiversity. The Rainforest Vanilla Conservation Society (Economically supported by VANEX) maintains a research station to provide the latest scientific insight in vanilla production.
