The United States hosts 41 kg (red gold) of Iranian saffron
Following Iran’s nuclear agreements with the P5 + 1, the United States joined the ranks of Iranian saffron customers after 15 years, and Iranian traders succeeded in exporting 41 kilograms of Iranian saffron to the country in recent months.
Since February last year, when the first shipment of Iranian saffron entered the US market directly, the United States has also shown interest in buying this product directly following nuclear agreements, resulting in one kilogram of saffron in packages during the last 53 days of last year. Various less than 10 grams, 10 to 30 grams and more than 30 grams worth up to 68 thousand dollars were exported to this country.
Of course, before, the United States, like other countries, was a customer of Iranian saffron, but due to sanctions, it bought this product as an intermediary from countries such as the UAE, which, of course, was named after these countries; Because the intermediary countries bought Iranian saffron in bulk and packed it in their national brands and exported it to the United States and other European countries.
Last year, 113 tons and 579 kg of saffron worth over 165 million and 300 thousand dollars were exported to 42 countries in different packages, which has decreased by 28.5% in weight and 27.4% in value compared to 1393.
Due to the decline in exports of this precious product, it is hoped that officials this year and in the coming years to make more detailed plans to organize the domestic and foreign market of saffron to find new customers, more foreign exchange earnings from the export of this valuable product.
