Saffron cultivation in Razan city increased to 28 hectares

The director of agricultural jihad in Razan city said: in addition to 28 hectares of agricultural farms in Razan, saffron has been cultivated, but the processing of this product is still done at home and traditionally.

Due to the reliance of the country’s economy on oil revenues, it is necessary to make dramatic changes in the economic outlook and approach, because oil resources are running out, so the Iranian economy must move towards non-oil products to overcome the challenges and fluctuations in the sector. Pass oil production and strengthen the country’s economic strength by developing non-oil production, while this method also improves exports.

Among the agricultural products that can be mentioned for the development of economic strength is the production and cultivation of medicinal plants; Hamedan, as the center of agriculture in the country, has an almost acceptable record in the production of pharmaceutical products, and the prosperity of agriculture in Hamedan, with several cities that have potential lands for cultivating various products, is not hidden from anyone.

One of the cities that is prone to the production and cultivation of agricultural and medicinal products is Razan city, which has achieved significant success in the field of saffron cultivation.

But in what direction have these capabilities been used so far, and have the incentives for cultivating this low-water crop been strengthened due to the need to pay attention to water resources? Has a step been taken in the field of packaging, branding, setting up processing units and conversion industries for them? In this regard, we decided to have a conversation with Mahmoud Fathi; Let’s arrange the director of agricultural jihad in Razan city, which you can read below:

Mahmoud Fathi in an interview with Bazaar reporter about saffron cultivation in Razan city said: the amount of land under saffron cultivation in this city is 28 hectares and the processing of this product is mainly done at home and through home businesses.

He stated that no industrial unit is active for processing saffron in Razan city, adding that the cultivated saffron is also in the form of home businesses and in this way it is ready to be sold with special packages.

The director of Jihad Keshavarzi of Razan city continued in this regard: so far, three people in Razan city have succeeded in acquiring a brand for saffron and exporting this product with a special brand.
