Spain exports Iranian saffron to 140 countries!
Spain, which is one of the largest buyers of Iranian saffron, annually exports Iranian saffron to 140 countries under its own name, while Iran,
with more than 95% of saffron production, exports its product to 45 countries.
Spain, which bought more than six tons of Iranian saffron worth more than 20 billion tomans this spring,
claims that it will re-export this product to 140 countries.
In the first quarter of this year,
6163 kg of saffron in different packages of less than 10 grams to more than 30 grams worth 20 billion 851 million 299 thousand 265 tomans,
equivalent to eight million 164 thousand 958 dollars, has been exported to Spain.
Also, 61 kg of saffron powder in packages of less than 10 grams and 10 to 30 grams were exported to this country,
the value of which was equal to 261 million 726 thousand 210 tomans, equal to 102 thousand 610 dollars.
Ali Hosseini – Member of the National Saffron Council said:
a country like Spain, which exports Iranian saffron in its name, claims to export saffron to 140 countries annually,
while saffron is exported from Iran to only about 45 countries, which is a sign.
There are many unknown markets where Iran can supply its saffron if it has government support.
It seems that the Ministry of Jihad for Agriculture and the government, whose main policy is to prevent the sale of raw products to other countries and strengthen the export of finished products, should pay more attention to reforming this process so that the added value of non-oil exports to Especially saffron, which is one of the main export goods, should not go to the pockets of other countries.
