What Fair Trade Certified Means for Vanilla Farmers

Madagascar is home to roughly 80% of the world’s vanilla supply. Many vanilla farmers are small-scale and earn far less than the cost of production and the value of their labor. Vanilla prices fluctuate dramatically, and smallholder farmers often have no leverage in the marketplace.

Many customers choose this vanilla because it allows them to support responsible sourcing without sacrificing flavor. Fairtrade certification helps support farming communities while delivering the same rich Madagascar Bourbon vanilla experience bakers expect from premium vanilla extract.

Fairtrade certification does just that. When you buy Rodelle Fairtrade Vanilla Extract, the beans were purchased under Fairtrade standards:

  • Fair Price: A guaranteed minimum price protects farmers when market prices drop.
  • Fairtrade Premium: An additional fund is paid directly to the farming cooperative, used for community projects like schools, clean water, or healthcare.
  • Safe Conditions: Farming cooperatives must meet standards for worker safety
