Alan Chambers, an assistant professor and plant geneticist at UF/IFAS Tropical Research and Education Center (TREC) has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to foster a domestic vanilla production industry.

“A major component of this grant is to advance our work with growers, scientists, and residents,” said Chambers. “Vanilla has the potential to be among the highest-grossing agricultural commodities and could revitalize some of our distressed agricultural industry.”
