“ grow vanilla is more complex than growing ornamental orchids , yet the demand for vanilla is increasing and it is a profitable craw for growers , ” explain Motti Sharon from Argos and Shay Lhermann from Top Greenhouses . That is why the two have been working together closely to acquire a greenhouse project that is desirable for grow vanilla extract . “ There are some major challenges when it total to rise vanilla and we are offer the solutions to raiser from A to Z.”Motti Sharon in one of the vanilla extract greenhouses in IsraelGrowing vanilla in new countriesSharon explains that the demand for vanilla extract has been rising over the last few twelvemonth . “ This is mainly because the food industry was forced to stop using chemical vanilla extract and only use regular vanilla , which has led to the product becoming more expensive , as vanilla extract is also really tender to the climate . Last twelvemonth , for example , extreme atmospheric condition stipulation led to a big quantity of vanilla not being furnish . Conventionally , there is no stabilized yield and the manufacturer can not guarantee that they can supply the vanilla on clock time . ” Lhermann adds that this is why their experts have built a protocol to grow vanilla extract the right way in a greenhouse , where the climate is insure and the proceeds is increased . “ This has allowed us to think not only the traditional vanilla arise countries , but we are now also negociate this project in other countries . We have already been requested for vanilla greenhouses in Israel , Vietnam ( already participating ) , Papua New Guinea , the Dominican Republic , and Brazil . ”“Obtaining genetical fabric is challenging”Lhermann explains that , at the moment , it is difficult to get the genetic textile for vanilla extract . “ It does n’t matter whether it is tissue finish or cuttings , there is an overall phytosanitary emergence that is challenge for growers . Countries are afraid of getting disease , so access to vanilla material is very limited around the earth . Therefore , if a new country wants to start producing vanilla , this is a major hurdle . ” Yet Lhermann and Sharon ’s aim is to take away this hurdle in the cheeseparing future . “ We need to start up tissue culture labs in countries that are fresh to vanilla polish , such as Brazil . Then , there will be computer virus - free tissue culture available in the country of destination . This will also be more cost - efficient , as there will be no more need for embark the tissue polish over . ”Tissue culture science lab in South East AsiaHelping growers succeed“Many cultivator see the demand and profits concerning vanilla cultivation and want to start their own vanilla cultivation . Yet many of the newcomers do n’t properly know what they are doing . acquire vanilla extract is more complex than acquire ornamental orchids , and we have the expertise to help them .
