The purpose of this export guide is to provide producers, processors and exporters of vanilla in Papua New Guinea with detailed information on the requirements and procedures to follow to export vanilla to customers and buyers worldwide. Additionally, it aims to encourage and facilitate exports of vanilla to sustainability-oriented markets, which are expected to increase in volume in the coming years. There is more to the task of exporting than just sending vanilla out to a customer. A lot of work usually precedes and follows the task of agreeing a sale, ensuring quality of the product, following all procedures as required by the Papua New Guinean authorities and that it meets international and specific customer standards. It is envisioned that, by preparing this guide, anyone who is interested in becoming an exporter, will be fully aware of both the opportunities and the significant risks involved, but most importantly the considerable effort that it requires.
