Describing Iran’s future state plan for saffron
In the sixth development plan, there has been a forecast for increasing saffron production and land cover. In the year 96, there is an increase of 16 tons. In 1997, 17 tons, 98, 23 tons and 99, 30 tons of increase in production were seen in the program.
Iran’s Saffron is still the first and last word in the world, but many countries are trying to find a market share. For example, in the United States, there is the launch of an IP that sells saffron from Afghanistan and sells it to its customers in the United States. The Romany Spice sells one gram of saffron for $ 18 and sells $ 140 for an ounce.
According to founders, the market value of saffron in the United States is $ 60 million. Yang, co-founder of the company, says: We are not really active in the spice industry. We are looking to build a global brand of saffron and produce other products from saffron.
On the other hand, smuggling of saffron bulbs in Afghanistan has been troublesome. Recently, Gholamreza Miri, in an interview with Radio Economics, said: “Sadly, smuggling of saffron bulbs from Iran is not new, and its history dates back 10-15 years ago, the peak of smuggling of saffron bulbs from the tenth government, when it was proposed to Afghans Saffron was given instead of poppy to stop the production of narcotics. In this way, perhaps for a few more years, Afghanistan could have taken an important part in the market for saffron in the world.
Because different global holdings are investing in it. According to Miri, the French, Dutch, Spanish and Italian holding in the country to produce saffron and American support in the market has been a threat to the market. Holding European countries has grown over the past five years as saffron bulb smuggling has grown and now there is reliable evidence of hundreds of billions of investments in saffron hunting for the next decade by the poor supplier in Afghanistan.
According to reports, since the production of saffron has not changed in Iran for 300 years and the traditional way is not fully compliant with health standards, the start of saffron production in Afghanistan is a warning to Iran’s export markets.
However, the market for saffron in the world is still in Iran. There are 94,95 thousand and 118 hectares under cultivation of saffron in the year 94. This year’s production was 351 tons.
Based on the report of the Department of Horticulture of the Ministry of Jihad-e-Agriculture, the highest level of saffron cultivation in Khorasan Razavi has been at 75,185 hectares. The production of 94 years in this region was 279 thousand 903 kilograms.
However, in the sixth development plan, there has been a forecast for increasing saffron production and land cover. So that in 1996, 16 tons of increase in production is expected. In 1997, 17 tons, 98, 23 tons, and 99,30 tons of increase in production were seen in the program.
According to the Ministry of Jihad-e-Agriculture’s Department of Horticulture’s report, in the first 11 months of the year 95, the export of saffron was 243.51 million and 840 dollars, which was 94 percent more than in the same period of the previous year. Also, weight changes during this period were 76 percent.
