OUR VANILLA
For over a century, Touton has developed its expertise in sourcing and selecting high-quality vanilla from around the world. Over the past decades, Touton has established a strong bond between local farmers and global food processors. Thanks to long-term partnerships, reinforced by our team in Madagascar since 2015, and our own curing station in Uganda, Touton has been able to strengthen its value chains while guaranteeing direct communication and providing quality and traceability.
Our ground-based sustainability programs support farmers’ living income by promoting good agronomy practices and crop diversification. The combination of vanilla and coffee production can provide in the long run a second source of income, while encouraging diversity and the protection of biodiversity.
