Question 1643 — overseas

Summary

Mrs. Ramlati Ali questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food on the measures available to protect and develop the production of black vanilla in Mayotte for which there remained only 26 hectares cultivated in 2015. Production is doubly threatened on the one hand by the erosion of agricultural land by uncontrolled construction due to demographic pressure, and on the other hand by the lack of interest of young generations for an agricultural activity where the fertilization of flowers is done by hand. This production is also threatened by competition from vanilla from the Comoros and Madagascar where the wages of agricultural workers are much lower than those in Mayotte. Due to disorganization in the sector, vanilla from Mayotte with a high vanillin content does not have recognition by a label despite its quality. recognized and awarded at international agricultural fairs. In a context where prices have returned to their 2005 level, at around 500 euros per kilo, and demand is constantly increasing, Mayotte vanilla must not disappear. She therefore wishes to know her position on the subject.
