Cyclone Gamane ravaged some of Madagascar’s key vanilla-growing regions, where torrential rain and high winds flooded the fields and stripped many vanilla pods from their vines. George Geeraerts, president of Madagascar’s vanilla exporters, said the deluge could cut the vanilla harvest by as much as 50 percent.
“On a bad year, production is about 1,500 tons compared with a range of 2,000 to 2,500 tons,” Geeraerts told Bloomberg, detailing that a conservative estimate pending further investigation could diminish the supply to as little as 1,000 tons. To put this in perspective, The Food Institute reached out to some veterans of vanilla to further understand the market and its implications.
“The most common uses for vanilla are as a flavoring for food products (baking, ice cream, confections, etc.) and beverages,” said David Branch, sector manager with the Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute, to FI. “However, vanilla is also used as a flavoring in syrups for medications and as a fragrance in perfumes and aromatherapy,” he added.

The second so called Boeing whistle blower was actually a whistle blower for a Boeing sub contractor Spirit Aerosystems. Hey never let the truth stand in the way of a good fable especially when you can keep kicking someone with your gratuitous propaganda when they are down. You all are sick.
Hey numbnuts. The story is about vanilla beans being wiped out by weather, not airline whistle blowers. What the hell is the matter with you?
