PHOTOS: Vanilla Boom Is Making People Crazy Rich — And Jittery — In Madagascar

Posted on by NPR - Africa News

Workers sort through bundles of vanilla at the Virginia Dare warehouse in Antsirabe Nord, Madagascar. When this photo was taken last year, the warehouse contained roughly $5 million worth of vanilla.
