80% of the country’s saffron is produced in Khorasan

The head of Khorasan Razavi Agricultural Jihad Organization said: 80% of the country’s saffron is produced in Khorasan and our saffron will be concentrated in Torbat Heydariyeh, Zaveh, Kashmar, Gonabad, Khaf, Rashtkhar, Mashhad and surrounding cities.

Mojtaba Mazrouei stated: Saffron harvest has started and considering that some of our farms got cold last year, saffron production may be better than last year.

He said that in order to prevent the losses of the producer and to establish calm and balance in the market, we will implement a support plan for the purchase of saffron, he said: We have also considered the floor price for saffron straw and jewels. For example, the price of 4300 kg of straw and 5400 kg of jewels is 5400. At this price, we receive the farmer’s material and after the analysis and test that was approved, we pay 40% of the amount to the farmer.

The head of the Khorasan Razavi Agricultural Jihad Organization continued: the rest of the product will be offered on the stock exchange and the floor price we set will be sold at a higher rate in the market and the rest will be paid to the farmer within three months.

Mazrouei added: This plan is due to the fact that the price of saffron is not lower than what we have defined in the domestic and foreign markets, and producers, traders and traders enjoy security and peace.

Pointing out that 82,000 hectares of our area is cultivated, he specified: 80% of Iran’s saffron is produced in Khorasan and our saffron will be concentrated in Torbat-e Heydariyeh, Zaveh, Kashmar, Gonabad, Khaf, Rashtkhar and Mashhad and surrounding cities. Was.
