The purpose of the technique is that the Madagascan vanilla is of good quality and meets the standards of the international market. There is a fixed date for the vanilla harvest and it varies from region to region. The end of vanilla exports from Madagascar has been postponed until the end of June, so the government will be strict in monitoring the harvest season.

Some areas are now in the middle of harvest season, including Diana and Sofia.
