Forecast of 30% growth in Iranian saffron production
Gholamreza Miri, stating that in 1397, 251 tons of saffron worth $ 354 million was exported from Khorasan Razavi, said:
This figure has increased by about 14% compared to exports in 1396 Khorasan Razavi.
He added:
About 90% of the country’s saffron exports are made from Khorasan Razavi,
and our forecast is that the total export of this product from the country has grown between 20 and 25% last year.
In another part of his speech, the Vice President of the National Saffron Council,
noting that the price of red gold has not fluctuated in the last month, said:
Currently, the minimum price per kilogram of this product is 8 million Tomans and the maximum price is 13 million Tomans;
Of course, this is the purchase rate of the product from farmers.
Miri attributed the high price of this product to low supply and added:
Farmers say that all goods have become more expensive, why the price of saffron, which is an export product, should remain stable.
Therefore, they offer their goods to the market with patience and delay.
On the other hand, exports have grown and issues such as foreign exchange contracts and the return of foreign currency to the country,
has led to an increase in saffron smuggling in the country, all of which has increased the demand for this product.
The private sector activist continued about what you predict the price situation in the coming weeks?
According to the routine, every year from June onwards, saffron exports will decrease,
while part of the high price of saffron will be due to the arrival of non-professionals. And speculators to market this product.
The Vice President of the National Saffron Council stated:
Considering the growth of production, we must plan and market its export.
Solve the problems that exist on the way to exports so that producers do not face challenges.
