Why is Vanilla Extract So Expensive?

Producing vanilla extract is a labor-intensive process that starts with harvesting the vanilla beans. Vanilla beans grow on orchids. In Madagascar, where much of the world's vanilla is grown, each flower is pollinated by hand which is very time-consuming.

Additionally, there has been a vanilla bean shortage due to droughts and adverse weather events in previous years, driving up the cost.
