Slight increase in saffron exports / brokers did their job

While saffron exports grew significantly due to the increase in production each year, in the first half of this year it increased by only about 10%, which, according to producers and exporters, ruined the market for this product. They are destroying Iranians.
In the first six months of this year, 62 tons and 46 kg of saffron in packages of less than 10 to more than 30 grams have been exported to more than 32 countries, which is 10.51% in weight and 9.96% in value compared to half First, it experienced growth last year, which according to some producers and exporters, including Ali Hosseini, a member of the National Saffron Council, is the cause of the imbalance and loss of domestic and foreign customers in the saffron market due to cross-sectional profits and personal interests. They themselves ruin the reputation of Iranian saffron and destroy its market.

China, Japan, Germany, Spain, Australia, UAE, UK, USA, Bahrain, Taiwan, Czech Republic, Sweden, Iraq, Oman, Philippines, Qatar, Canada, Korea, Malaysia, Norway, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Singapore, Netherlands, Slovakia, Italy, Denmark, France, Poland, Azerbaijan, Switzerland and New Zealand are 32 customers of Iranian saffron in the first six months of this year, including the United States after 15 years and after the implementation of the P5 + 1 agreements to the total number of Iranian red gold customers. According to US exporters, due to their potential and consumption, they can become the largest customer of Iranian saffron in the near future.

Because in the first six months of this year, the country has bought 87 kg of saffron in different packages of less than 10 to more than 30 grams from Iran and can in the near future instead of buying Iranian saffron from intermediary countries such as Spain and the UAE all saffron Buy their needs from Iran.

Of course, another problem of Iranian saffron that saffron exporters and producers always point out and emphasize is the processing and complementary industries, because according to them, Iran only exports saffron in bulk and raw, and if it can measure the target market and based on The need for that product to be packaged, processed and delivered to the customer will easily increase the value of Iranian saffron many times over.

But according to experts, if saffron production and market is not managed in the coming years and with a 10% increase in saffron every year, a good future will certainly not be waiting for this product and Iran, like Spain, should give its place to another country and Iranian saffron will gradually disappear. Will go.
