Our Values: An Ethical and Sustainable Vision at the Heart of Madagascar Vanilla
The Founders: Expertise Inherited from Madagascar
Naomy and Rosemine, two sisters born in Madagascar, embody the passion and family expertise passed down through generations. Their family has been cultivating and processing vanilla in the Sambava region since 1978. Today, they jointly lead Natural Spices with a shared commitment to excellence and ethics.
- Naomy, the director of Natural Spices, oversees the marketing and distribution of vanilla.
- Rosemine focuses on the meticulous selection and processing of the beans, ensuring impeccable quality.
Their complementarity guarantees exceptional products that honor Malagasy traditions while meeting the demands of the most discerning customers.
Our Certifications: A Guarantee of Quality and Ethics
At Natural Spices, we are committed to offering products that respect both the planet and its people. Our certifications are a testament to our responsible approach:
- Organic Label (Lacon): Certified since 2016, this guarantees cultivation without pesticides or chemicals.

These certifications allow our customers to enjoy exceptional vanilla with complete transparency while supporting environmentally friendly practices and local communities.
Our Vision for Sustainable Development
We believe that vanilla cultivation can be a driver of social and economic transformation in Madagascar.
This is why we work closely with the Lavarondra Planters Association, located in the village of Andranovato, 50 km from Sambava. Together, we implement concrete projects to improve the living conditions of local communities:
Nos Initiatives en Cours :
- Agricultural Training: For nearly 10 years, we have been organizing training sessions on organic farming techniques and the elimination of pesticides.
- Equipment for Farmers: Providing raincoats, boots, and flashlights to ensure efficient work, even during the rainy season.
- Educational Support: Distributing school supplies and creating a library within the village school.
