Expovan

Expovan, with its extensive experience in vanilla processing, has consistently demonstrated its ability to meet the high-quality standards demanded by the global vanilla industry. The company is steadily working toward its goal of processing vanilla sourced directly from carefully managed harvests under the Indian Vanilla Initiative (IVI), ensuring end users receive the finest quality product. To strengthen its supply chain from the ground up, Expovan launched the Indian Vanilla Initiative, a backward integration program designed to empower farmers in vanilla cultivation. Through the provision of saplings, technical support, and hands-on guidance, the initiative has ignited enthusiasm among growers and stimulated growth. Today, Expovan is recognized as India’s largest contractor for natural vanilla cultivation, offering support prices and a 100% buy-back guarantee to participating farmers. As part of its forward integration strategy, Expovan sought to introduce the richness of natural vanilla to the Indian market, where awareness of its authentic flavor was limited. This vision led to the creation of the Goodness Vanilla brand, which has successfully captured the interest of Indian consumers with its premium, aromatic vanilla offerings. Expovan manages the entire supply chain—from cultivation and processing to the value-added production of vanilla extracts, powders, and seeds—delivering directly to domestic customers. The company is committed to sustainable, skilled operations with over 90% product traceability through IVI farmers. With a workforce composed of more than 90% women, Expovan actively supports community empowerment while achieving outstanding results.
