The Association of Vanilla Exporters of Uganda Limited (VANEX) is a membership organization constituted by vanilla buyers and exporters in 2003, and incorporated in Uganda in June 2005 as a company limited by guarantee. Our intent was to pool the resources of the members and to harmonize and co-ordinate our efforts and activities in the best interest of the vanilla export industry in Uganda.
We have since grown into an officially recognized organization that serves as a platform, which contributes to the effort to create an enabling environment for sustainable vanilla production and trade with a view of making Uganda a reliable global source of high quality natural vanilla.
