IFF Opens Vanilla Innovation Center in Madagascar
IFF announced the opening of its Vanilla Innovation Center in Madagascar, reinforcing vanilla as a strategic and priority tonality for IFF and strengthening its ability to innovate at origin. Located in Toamasina, Madagascar's principal seaport, near vanilla growing areas and post-harvest processing activities, the 650-square-meter center brings together lab analysis, extraction, scent and flavor creation, and application development in a single site. By embedding these capabilities close to the crop, IFF can better understand natural variability and translate on-the-ground insights into tailored solutions for customers globally.
