Planting red gold in the desert

Head of Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization of the province announced the cultivation of 10 hectares of saffron in Qom province.

According to ISNA, Mohammad Reza Talaee said on Tuesday that saffron is a medicinal plant that has very low water requirements, and due to this lack of water in the plan for changing the province’s cultivation pattern, it is one of the cultivation rows that can be A good alternative to wet products.

Referring to the fact that we have about 10 hectares of saffron cultivation in Qom province, he said: At present, the average harvest of saffron in Qom province is 2 kg per hectare, which has a very high economic value. By developing this cultivation, especially in the mountainous regions, we are trying to provide all the members of the farmer’s family with the opportunity to plant and harvest saffron, in order to reduce the cost of the workers and increase the income of the farmers.

He pointed out that harvesting of saffron in Qom province has increased more than 2.5 times, noted that last year, the harvest of saffron in Qom province was less than 3 kg, which this year has reached 8 kilograms.

Head of Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization of the province said: “Limitation of water resources in Qom province requires that we start to cultivate low-water crops, and in order to maintain the farmer’s capital and to maintain its sustainability, we need to replace saffron products with water.” 30% of the land in Qom province has the ability to cultivate saffron. Currently, saffron cultivation in Qom province is undergoing a pilot experiment and in the coming years the cultivation area of ​​this product will increase.

He said the quality of saffron products in Qom province is desirable, and said: Considering that in Khorasan province, which is the country where saffron is produced and farmers have several years of experience in this regard, the quality of saffron in Qom province is also very desirable. In Qom province, we must try to have the best yield per unit area in the field of saffron harvest, so that we can economize this crop and take steps to increase farmers’ income.
