Less than 5% of the world’s saffron turnover comes to Iran

Sorna Sattari, the Vice President of Science and Technology on the sidelines of the visit to Torbat Heydarieh’s Growth Center, said: “We are now seeing a lot of problems that have arisen due to the decision made at the center for the entire country, and therefore in each region, such as Torbat Heydarieh, or Other elite cities must enter into action.
He emphasized that these elites should look at the advantages of each region to determine their development method, said that it is necessary to examine the market for Torbat Heydarieh’s indigenous products in order to be able to plan for their production and export.
The president’s science and technology assistant continued: For example, 90 percent of the world’s saffron is produced in the region, with a global financial market worth about $ 8.5 billion.
However, less than 5 percent of the market and about 400 million dollars are imported into the Iranian economy, Sattari emphasized.
He emphasized the importance of integrating the native advantages of day-to-day technology, adding that this trend could lead to the development of interconnection between different regions.
The Vice President of Science and Technology announced the task of the government to establish a knowledge base on the creation of infrastructure and the provision of equipment, adding that the idea that the government is responsible for the development of knowledge-based companies is wrong and in this area requires the arrival of the investor.
