Where did the Saffron Certificate Recognition Plan come from?

Despite the importance of saffron production in the country and its valuation, more and more it is necessary to look for ways to increase the production of this product in different provinces of the country, and since the amount of water used to produce saffron is negligible, it can be done in most parts of the country to produce it. .
In recent years, besides Khorasan province, farmers in other provinces have been cultivating it because of the profitable yield and have expanded the production of this product to their livelihoods.
It should be noted that each kilogram of saffron in the interior ranges from 6 to 11 million tomans in quality, which can encourage many farmers to cultivate red gold.
In the meantime, there are many dangers in the production and export of this product, since, because of the ease of smuggling of saffron, most profitable people are trying to make more profit by sending luggage to the surrounding countries and selling them without any brands and trademarks. .
This could be a major threat to distort the name of Iranian saffron, so that the countries around them, by re-exporting this product and registering their Iranian brand name and brand, will cut Iran’s hands to find target markets.
In recent years, the issue of saffron identification is a good news to eliminate the threats to the production of this product, but with much emphasis and the benefits of this project, the identification of red gold has not yet been implemented.
In this regard, Ali Hosseini, a member of the National Saffron Council, pointed to the delay in the implementation of the saffron identification plan, saying that saffron identification is important in minimizing abuse and abuse and, on the other hand, it has the benefit of the producer, the consumer and the exporter. It will pose, but no decision has yet been made for this plan.
He believes that the implementation of this project does not require complex infrastructure, and for the implementation of this program, simple software and hardware programs are required, so that its format is to be prepared at the National Council for saffron and in 100 villages to run as a pilot and the result of that Accepted.
A member of the Saffron National Council says: By implementing the saffron identification plan, it is possible to accurately predict the area under cultivation, the amount of production and production in the future, and in this regard.
With these interpretations, saffron identification can be an effective step to prevent possible abuses in the saffron market and, in the present circumstances, an obstacle to prevent smuggling of this product to the border countries.
