Vanilla pods worth more than Silver as crop prices soar
 

["I used to pay £65 or £75 for 1kg of vanilla pods. Now the supplier wants £580, so vanilla has just had to go."]



[Around 85 per cent of the world's supply of vanilla pods comes from Madagascar, an island off eastern Africa.
But natural disasters including last year's Cyclone Enawo have wiped out a third of the annual crop, sending prices soaring.
This high demand and low production is expected to spell disaster for ice cream lovers in the UK as summer approaches.]


Its all because of the Extreme weather
last year in Madagascar
