Saeed Bastani, representative of Torbat Heydarieh, at the Saffron conference in parliament, arguing that if the chain of production and supply of saffron is in the form of a codified method, the government should not enter, therefore, the rural cooperative organization, with the understanding of this vacuum, sought to buy an agreement and support the farmers’ product, added : Saffron is one of the five essential commodities in the agricultural export sector, and if we are to export, we have to have a definite and well-defined definition for it.
Representative of Torbat Heydarieh’s Majlis in the Majlis said that no significant scientific activity has been carried out in the Red Gold area, and the Agricultural Jihad Research Center needs to consider a scientific support package in order to let the farmer know that if he has dried up 4 kilograms of saffron until yesterday, By implementing this supportive and scientific package, it can even harvest twice as much of the past.

The representative of Torbat Heydarieh in parliament added that all the views on saffron to the government should be reformed because saffron does not depend on the food security of the country and the state budget does not adequately buy saffron, so, with compliance with the requirements and infrastructure in the saffron cycle, we can Make the most of the global turnover of this product.

The production is not large because many countries still do not know saffron, and on the other hand, we must remove barriers to exports, as in Afghanistan, which has reduced the export tariffs for saffron to India and China, but we have a foreign exchange contract in Iran, and this That means closing the export of saffron.
He said: the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Affairs should solve the problems in the sphere of tariffs and our traders should not travel to Afghanistan for exporting their products to India and China, due to tariffs that do not exist, several voices in the field of saffron assignment In Iran, it has been damaged by this product, and in other countries it does not produce saffron, but the sativa is only one person and one unit.
