Indonesia Production

The archipelago of Indonesia consists of 5 main islands and more than 13.000 smaller islands with an uncommon landform. Indonesia is well-known for its rice cultivation terraces in Ubud, many sugarcane crops and coffee What is not so well-known, is that the Republic of Indonesia is the world’s second largest vanilla producer. Located exactly under the equator, between Asia and Australia, Indonesia has a tropical climate. It has an average temperature above 25° C, high humidity, low winds and monsoonal rainfalls that allows for many different kinds of plantations. As vanilla can only grow in countries that are at least 1000m above sea level, Indonesia is an ideal place for it to grow thanks to its diversified topography. Originally grown in South Java and Bali, vanilla bean cultivation has spread to many other regions of the archipelago, like Sulawesi, Sumatra, Lombok and Flores. This expansion of the vanilla growing region ensures a stable supply of vanilla.
