According to officials: saffron is not imported into Iran
The head of the union of exporters and importers of agricultural products said that the release of saffron and saffron powder is unhealthy, as 95 percent of the world’s saffron is produced in Iran. Sayed Reza Nurani, pointing out that Afghanistan and Spain only have 5 percent of saffron and there is no possibility of saffron import at all, added: Unfortunately, the main problem with saffron is the smuggle of onions of these strategic products to other countries. He said that some people smuggle saffron onions from Iran, which are exclusively Iranian plants, to smuggle their profits to other countries, and the continuation of this process could remove Iran’s market monopoly in the future. Head of the Union of Exporters and Importers of Agricultural Products added that in past years, we saw how pistachios were smuggled from Iran to other countries, including the United States, and thus witnessed the presence of competitors in the market for this national product.
