Buyer questions

Vanilla buyer questions

What vanillin content do Ugandan vanilla beans have?

Vanillin content varies with the lot, curing and grade, so Warfaa does not publish a fixed figure. If vanillin content is part of your specification, state the minimum and test method you require; laboratory results are provided for the offered lot where agreed.

When is the Uganda vanilla harvest season?

Uganda’s two rainy seasons typically support two vanilla harvests a year, and cured beans need several months of curing and conditioning before export. Ask Warfaa for current crop availability and expected shipment windows when planning a bulk order.

Can you supply traceable or organic vanilla beans?

Warfaa keeps farm-level origin and batch records for the vanilla it sources. Organic or other certified vanilla is offered only where a valid certificate covers the lot, so state any certification requirement in your enquiry.

How are bulk vanilla beans packed for freight?

Cured beans can be vacuum sealed in bundles and packed in cartons for air or sea freight. Bundle weight, pack size, labelling and Incoterms are agreed in your quotation.

What is the minimum order for wholesale vanilla?

Minimum order quantities depend on the format, grade and destination and are confirmed in each quotation. Sample requests can be discussed before a bulk order.
