Bulk Vanilla Beans Wholesale: Tiered Pricing, 1 kg MOQ & Direct-from-the-Grower Supply
Buy bulk vanilla beans straight from the curing floor in Sri Lanka — no brokers, no mark-ups. Choose Grade A gourmet or Grade B extract pods in 1, 3, 5 and 10 kg lots, see the live per-kilo price at every tier before you order, and get published moisture specs with every shipment.

Why Buy Bulk Vanilla Beans Direct from the Grower?
Most vanilla changes hands three or four times before it reaches your warehouse: farmer, local collector, exporter, importer, distributor — each layer adds margin and days. When you order bulk vanilla beans from Ceylon Vanilla Lanka (PureVanillaBeans.com), you buy the pod at the point where it is cured and graded. That single fact changes three things for a wholesale buyer:
- Price transparency. Our tiered lot prices are published below — 1, 3, 5 and 10 kg — instead of hidden behind a quote form. The 10 kg tier is where serious buyers land: up to 31% below the 1 kg rate.
- Spec honesty. Moisture content, length class and grade are stated per lot (Grade A: 25–30% moisture; Grade B: 15–20%), because we measure them at curing, not at resale.
- Freshness & traceability. Pods are vacuum-sealed after grading and shipped with crop-year, origin and curing documentation — one origin, one supply chain, one point of accountability. Read how vanilla is cultivated in Sri Lanka and our grower story to see why that matters.

Which Grade Should You Buy in Bulk — A or B?
Grade is not a quality verdict; it is a job description. Grade A (gourmet) pods carry 25–30% moisture: plump, glossy, flexible — the pods your customers see in retail jars, pastes and plated desserts. Grade B (extract) pods are dried to 15–20% moisture: leaner, more concentrated per kilo, and cheaper per pod — the raw material for extract, vanilla sugar and powder. A full breakdown, including the bend/sheen/split tests buyers use at receiving, is in our Grade A vs Grade B vanilla beans buyer's guide.


- Extract, tincture & infusion producers: Grade B lots — more pods and more flavour solids per kilogram.
- Retail packers & gourmet brands: Grade A lots — appearance is the product on the shelf.
- Bakeries doing both: split the order; mixed lots are quoted on request.
Extract maths for bulk buyers
Single-fold vanilla extract standardly uses ≈100 g of beans per litre of 35–40% spirit (13.35 oz per US gallon). Practically: a 10 kg lot yields roughly 100 litres of single-fold extract — or about 50 litres of a double-fold style concentrate. Depending on pod size, expect roughly 250–350 pods per kg in Grade A lots and 350–450 in Grade B lots — our vanilla bean count guide (1 oz, 100 g, 1 kg) breaks the maths down by size class, and the step-by-step infusion process is in how to make vanilla extract from Grade B and Grade A beans.
