Vanilla Thieves Of Madagascar (Full Documentary) - BBC News

The robberies are often violent. There have been dozens of murders in Madagascar linked to vanilla. Several communities have tried and failed to get protection from armed police. Some have taken the law into their own hands. Villagers say in a nearby village, a machete-wielding crowd descended on five suspected gangsters - hacking and stabbing them to death.
The killings have yet to be solved by the police. Locals say there is no will or capacity in the police forces to investigate the vanilla thefts - or the mob justice that sometimes follows.

    The majority of the world's vanilla is the V. planifolia species, commonly known as Bourbon vanilla or Madagascar vanilla. Madagascar and Indonesia produce two-thirds of the world's supply of vanilla. Mexico, once the leading producer of natural vanilla with an annual yield of 500 tons of cured beans, produced only 10 tons in 2006. An estimated 95% of "vanilla" products are artificially flavored with vanillin derived from lignin instead of vanilla fruits.

    There are many species of plant in the Vanilla genus and members of the genus do indeed grow all over the world's tropics, including Guatemala, but only two wild species - both of which are native exclusively to Central America - produce the aromatic and edible fruit. It's these species the reporter was referring to regarding native pollinators (and what most people are referring to when they talk about a 'vanilla' plant in general).

    Vanilla does have to be hand pollinated to produce beans and so all plants grown in Madagascar are cultivated very closely. The man, Clovis, is talking about the heavy rainfall caused by the trees in a forest transpiring (part of a rainforest's water cycle), a process which is disrupted by the deforestation to make way for vanilla crops. Vanilla and cloves both need lots of rain to reach maturity quickly and give a good yield.

    This kind of simplistic piece is no help to the Malagasy. Just because there are trees, doesn't make it primary rainforest. There is only 10% of the original forest left on the island and invasive species like pine and eucalyptus and humans are destroying natural habitat that Malagasy species need to survive. All lemurs are endangered. So sad.

    Vanilla orchids technically do grow on trees, as they're climbing plants - so you're partly correct :) And yes, they do still exist and grow in the wild, but can only reproduce without human influence in Mexico and Central America. As the reporter mentioned, they rely on a very particular species of bee to pollinate their flowers, and this bee is not found anywhere else on the globe.
