It looks more like a simple data processing, like grabbing any "vanilla beans" trades, adding the "outs" and subtracting the "ins"
If you look at other sources you'll find stuff like:
> In 2021, Germany imported 695 tonnes of vanilla, worth €83 million, and exported 245 tonnes, resulting in a net consumption of 450 tonnes.

So these numbers probably just indicate that Germany is a common port of entry for vanilla headed to other EU countries (although most of the vanilla it imports stays in the country).
