The main purpose of this handbook is to give willing farmers a good understanding of the differences - vanilla is an orchid, with root needs different from most crops familiar to the farmers, vanilla does not flower every year at some latitudes; the farmer must help the plant to reach 'flower induction', and curing vanilla is not a drying process; it is a more complex and time consuming 'enzymatic fermentation'.
