Premium Indonesian Vanilla Beans — Complete Product Range
Bali Vanilla Export offers a comprehensive range of Indonesian vanilla products designed to meet the diverse needs of B2B buyers worldwide. From premium Grade A gourmet beans to cost-effective Grade B extract-grade pods, aromatic Tahitensis varieties, and ready-to-use vanilla powder and extract, every product in our catalog is sourced directly from Indonesian farming communities and processed under strict quality controls.
Indonesia is the world’s second-largest vanilla producer, contributing over 30% of global supply. Our strategic sourcing across Bali, East Java, Papua, Sulawesi, and Flores gives us access to the full spectrum of Indonesian vanilla — each region contributing distinct flavor profiles shaped by unique terroir, altitude, and microclimate conditions.
Our Vanilla Product Categories
Grade A Vanilla Beans (Gourmet/Premium)
Our flagship product. Grade A Planifolia beans are selected for exceptional quality — minimum 15 cm length, moisture content between 25-35%, rich dark brown to black color, oily and flexible texture, and vanillin concentration of 1.6-2.2%. These beans are preferred by premium chocolate makers, pastry chefs, Michelin-starred restaurants, and gourmet food manufacturers who demand the highest visual and aromatic quality. Available in 1 kg sample lots through multi-ton annual contracts.
Grade B Vanilla Beans (Extract Grade)
Grade B beans offer the same excellent vanillin content as Grade A but with lower moisture (15-25%) and a drier appearance. These extract-grade beans are the industry standard for vanilla extract production, flavoring manufacturing, and industrial food applications where visual presentation is less critical than flavor intensity. Grade B beans provide outstanding value for high-volume buyers — the drier profile actually delivers more vanillin per kilogram, making them the cost-effective choice for extraction.
Tahitensis Vanilla Beans
Vanilla tahitensis produces a distinctly different flavor profile from standard Planifolia — fruity, floral, and anise-like notes that make it prized by perfumers, artisan ice cream makers, and specialty food producers. Our Tahitensis beans are sourced primarily from Papua and select Sulawesi regions where the variety thrives in tropical lowland conditions. Increasingly demanded by luxury food brands and fragrance houses seeking unique, differentiated vanilla character.
Vanilla Powder & Extract
For buyers requiring ready-to-use vanilla ingredients, we offer pure vanilla powder (ground from whole cured beans with no additives) and vanilla extract in various concentrations. Vanilla powder is ideal for dry-mix applications, bakery premixes, and formulations where liquid addition is impractical. Our extract products meet FDA and EU specifications for pure vanilla extract, with customizable vanillin concentrations based on buyer requirements.
Why Source Indonesian Vanilla
The global vanilla market is projected to grow from USD 14.3 billion in 2026 to USD 23 billion by 2036, driven by surging demand for natural flavoring in food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Indonesia’s position as the second-largest producer offers B2B buyers critical advantages over single-source dependency on Madagascar.
Indonesian vanilla provides supply diversification against Madagascar’s cyclone risk and political instability, competitive pricing typically 20-40% below equivalent Madagascar grades, unique flavor characteristics from volcanic terroir, year-round availability across multiple harvest regions, and a growing government commitment to vanilla sector development including export facilitation and quality standardization programs.
Quality Assurance Across All Products
Every product in our catalog undergoes the same rigorous quality control process before export. This includes visual inspection and manual grading by experienced sorters, moisture content measurement using calibrated meters, vanillin concentration testing via HPLC or UV spectrophotometry, microbiological screening for mold, yeast, salmonella, and E. coli, and heavy metal and pesticide residue testing for markets requiring these certifications.
All shipments include a Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting test results. We also provide phytosanitary certificates, Certificates of Origin, and any additional documentation required by the destination country’s import regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions — Our Products
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B vanilla beans?
Grade A (gourmet/premium) beans have higher moisture content (25-35%), are visually plump and oily, and are intended for culinary use where the whole bean or seeds are visible. Grade B (extract grade) beans have lower moisture (15-25%), a drier appearance, but actually contain more vanillin per kilogram due to less water weight. Grade B is the standard for vanilla extract production and industrial flavoring where visual appearance is not a factor.
Can I order a mix of different vanilla varieties in one shipment?
Yes. We regularly fulfill mixed orders combining different grades, varieties, and product formats in a single shipment. Each product is packaged separately with its own COA, and we can consolidate everything into one export consignment to reduce your shipping costs. The minimum quantity per individual product in a mixed order is 10 kilograms for beans and 5 kilograms for powder or extract.
How should vanilla beans be stored after delivery?
Store vanilla beans in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area at 15-20°C with relative humidity around 60-70%. Keep beans in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed packaging to prevent moisture loss. Avoid refrigeration, as cold temperatures can cause crystallization and degrade bean quality. Properly stored beans maintain their quality for 12-24 months, though we recommend processing within 6 months of delivery for optimal flavor and aroma.
Do you offer price protection or forward contracts?
For established clients with consistent volume requirements, we offer forward contracts that lock in pricing for 3-6 month periods. This protects buyers against market volatility, which can be significant in the vanilla commodity market. Forward contracts require a deposit and minimum volume commitment. Contact our export team to discuss contract terms based on your annual requirements.
