With so many of us staying at home these days and spending more time in the kitchen, vanilla sales, of all things, are booming. Correspondent Seth Doane travels to the island of Madagascar – which supplies 80% of the world’s vanilla – to learn more about the extraordinarily colorful (and sometimes unsavory) story of a familiar spice, and why this valuable cash crop can be worth more by weight than silver.

Why vanilla ice cream is cheaper than other ice cream??? Are we getting scammed in ice cream😅
Why do white people perpetuate the idea that vanilla is white in color? Like their skin?
Why was the pineapple near to the vanilla
👍
Why am I not surprised it’s the black people doing all the labor intensive work yet they are the poorest!!?? 🤦🏽
I am obsessed with vanilla beans🥹
Did that lady just admit to exploiting cheap labor to harvest her stuff?
Excellent segment
sometimes that’s that only way to get the best ingredients and produce. by hand
its pretty funny that vanilla originated in mexico, but because of labor costs they grow in madagascar

Talk about robbing someone’s things. Where’s the repercussions for Mexico?!
Im eating vanilla ice cream now 🙂
Never have I ever bought a 5 dollar little jar with 3 vanilla sticks in it. Mostly because we can't afford it. So, that exploitation is all for not.
Vanilla is the 2nd expensive spice
Seem like the people that uses these companies would at least buy them machinery or equipment to help them out so it’s not so labor-intensive.
VANILLA IS ENDEMIC OF MEXICO.
Vanilla is actually from Mexico. The Portuguese took it to Madagascar.
Sounds like the "New World Order" is in full swing. This is pretty much how they want the rest of the world to become like. Low wages – poor work conditions – poor neighborhood – high crime. Meanwhile, the Elites are in well protected homes, eating high off of the Hog…
WHITE WASHED!
Africa is still being consumes by foreigners.
Sorry to disappoint you guys but Vanilla was introduce by Hernan Cortez to Europe and the rest of world together with the Xocolatl (chocolate), and it comes from my beloved Mexico.
Good news
Great eye opening story of vanilla. It's relationship with black kid Edmond Albius n early mexican society. Never was told black vanilla seed can be fragrant. Moreover the scientist who creat Ed d immitation. Thank you
did you even wonder where vanilla comes from? Probebly not.. wait but i searched this up myself…
Mexico offered the world ; chocolate, vanilla, avocado, and much more
Destruction of forest. We should only be using artificial
长城汽车，哈哈哈哈哈。
La vainilla es originaria de México.
$13,000 car.
$25 garage.
8:23 she is dead on
And here I am packaging vanilla extract bottles, making 16x as much as most of the workers in Madagascar get for actually making the crop. This is messed up.
$100 dollars a month is not good to make all that vanilla
I didn't watch this video to make a friend so you don't have to tell me every person in the videos name where there from what's there job and what there favorite color is so you don't need to tell me that! You could just say some of there name's and where Some of them is from. AND I DONT WANT TO SEE PEPOLES FEET!!! AND you didn't need to add "you just have to wait 9 months like a baby." and at the end when you say " Vanilla is a work of art and you cant treat it like a bag of sugar.." that sounds FAKE! I get people put effort into it But for real? Any way I like the video and I hope your work pays off and i didnt mean to hurt your feelings.-Melody
If you raised the standard of living they would not be steal
Shame on her and her family
Are you kidding me the white people are rich and the black folks are poor gee what a shocker
Bro why does he talk like that
100 dollars a month is very small money nowadays
i always thought of vanillia as "plain" or basic, which is ironic that it is always in some sort of treat. i always thought of it as plan water, but now as an adult i have changed my ways and rather crave vanilla these days.
The threat for farmer is robber.

The things you don't think about…. Who knew?
They must smell amazing
the way the white lady talked about Madagascar being the "default" country because they can pay the workers so little…. that did not sit right with me. These workers deserve a much larger cut of the profits. I don't care that they don't own the land or the crops these people earn it through their hard work
They robbing the ppl.
Wow. Unbelievable. Imagine why Madagascar is soo poor being the only country that produces vanilla. What kinda world do we live in? They put Vanilla in everything.
That’s why vanillas are expensive !!!
I love vanilla. It is my favorite flavor for really any sweet food
If the minimum wage is such an effective antipoverty device, why not advocate it in Madagascar as opposed to US foreign aid and taking advantage of lower wages as the proprietor mentions in this story?
Something is seriously wrong when a white lady from America owns land in Madagascar and makes off that land
