For years, onion, saffron is widely smuggled to Afghanistan. Trafficking of saffron bulbs to Afghanistan soon the country will become a big rival for Iran. Widespread smuggling, indicate that the accuracy required by the relevant bodies about the product, has taken place.
According to ISNA, the newspaper “law” writes trafficking phenomenon in our country a widespread problem And quite serious harm to domestic production and consequently the economy of the country. One area that is heavily involved with the case, agriculture. In the agricultural sector in the country are faced with the smuggling of goods.
Among the products that Iran has ranked first in global production,Saffron is unfortunately widespread smuggling of this product makes the risk of losing market our country threatens saffron in the world. The threat already on the market other products plague our country and instead of fighting it, we’ve increasingly more goodies in the country. This is serious damage to exports.
Widespread smuggling of saffron bulbs.
For years the saffron bulbs are widely smuggled to Afghanistan and It will certainly endanger production in the country. But now Iran is the world’s largest producer of saffron with widespread smuggling of onions this product to Afghanistan but soon the country will become a big rival for Iran.The price of saffron is determined by speculators and opportunists so that in the last three years and collect saffron dealer bought from the market and lead to false shortage As well as the supply of high-priced and out of season, are the challenges in export markets.
In fact, it is the speculators drove up prices of saffron, saffron slippage so that speculators are the main factor,Serious pest exports so that the actual price per kilogram of saffron According to Ali Hussein, a member of the Board of Directors of saffron, 4 million 500 thousand to 5 million 500 thousand USD, while the price of saffron is now an average of one million USD more than the actual price of between 5 million and 500 thousand to 6 million 500 thousand USD.
Hosseini also said fixed-price commitment in providing timely and sustained export demand is very effective while Due to fluctuating prices of these exporters are sometimes unable to act on their commitments. On the other hand, due to saffron cultivation in drought areas, production in other countries and their entry into export markets would be unemployed farmers and the loss of export markets.
Saffron trafficking problem will not be solved!
Trafficking phenomena, in the agricultural sector in our country has become an unsolvable dilemma because In smuggling Iranian saffron is the world’s production and export first place, there is certainly huge profits.We tried to make in this regard by some officials and activists in the field of industry dialogue and saffron Solutions them to combat the widespread phenomenon and damaging trafficking Dill ask that unfortunately most of them are willing to meet not.
In the meantime, Enayatollah desert, Deputy Secretary General of the farmer’s house, in answer to the question “law” about why the smuggling of saffron to other countries not taken? “The biggest problem is that interest in solving this problem does not exist. The extent of the phenomenon of trafficking about different products, making the phenomenon spread to a variety of goods exceptional production for our country has to be. As you know Iran’s saffron production ranks first in the world but there is always the product smuggled from Iran to other countries such as Spain sent and then as Product of Spain to other countries was, saffron that actually specific product and especially our country was. Now also, unfortunately, the phenomenon of smuggling of saffron bulbs to Afghanistan face a tumultuous state of very bad quality has created. ”
He adds: “Our country has good experience in supplying products and not only high quality products offered, but also day-to-day quality of export products grew and this resulted in this gain status, but lack of attention, lack of supervision and lack of control quality has advantages in the production of goods for our country, gradually wiped out. A solution to the issue is to the section Agriculture Organization refers to its authority over the manufacturing sector importance than before it. ”
Dealers in the national interest not think
Evidence shows that the smuggling of saffron bulbs has become a mafia in the country and it seems that the high profits behind this case is so high that the hands behind the curtain in front of the fight against trafficking this product block. Off with approval the statement continues, “precisely the issue of trafficking of saffron bulbs in our country has become a mafia grew up. Dealers and mafias involved in this attack, the only thing they care about lining the pockets of their own and certainly protect national interests for they do not particularly important. So it is with any resolution that may have their own monopoly and when necessary, to countries that are the products of this sector, is released. While the institutions and bodies of the country on this special control have unfortunately does not exist. Monitoring of these sectors a wide and national calls if necessary to be part of the quality control of these products in areas where the bulbs product by a number of monopoly robbed is, do they identify. Unfortunately, in the production of many products that our country ranked first to sixth have the speed advantage in the loss. This is very important because the national interests of our country is concerned. ”
Failure to disclose the relevant organs
It seems that in this case the relevant organizations of fight against smuggling, and the mafia saffron short takes more force than what we think it fits there.Deputy Secretary General of the farmer’s house in this regard says:”When it is obvious that a quality product in our country is being trafficked, indicate that the accuracy required by the relevant bodies about the product, and there are evident in this case was truncated.So should there be special supervision on agricultural production and trafficking and the entry and crops with pests and diseases are to be taken in airports.Some countries allow even the smallest food not to his country, but unfortunately we can control trafficking in their country and do not have problems like this. ”
This shows that people want to get rid of mafia are not widespread in the country and One hundred percent access to huge profits for them more important than national interests and achieve the right economic structures in the export and import in the country.This is where the authorities need to open your eyes and look around and take your head in the sand rather than the front of the existing corruption and loss of benefits in the country.
