Beginning of saffron harvest from Torqroud of Natanz and adjacent villages
The director of Jihad Keshavarzi of Natanz city said: the saffron harvesting operation started from 100 hectares of Torqrood lands of Natanz and its neighboring villages.
Abdolreza Mehdibadi stated: The operation of harvesting saffron from 100 hectares of lands of Torqroud Natanz and adjacent villages began.
Mehdibadi, stating that it is predicted that 800 kilos of saffron will be harvested from 100 hectares of land, said: 8 kilograms of saffron will be harvested per hectare.
Referring to the problems of farmers in the field of saffron cultivation in the city, he said: water shortage, reduction of world saffron prices, lack of proper and standard packaging are the most important problems of farmers in the city.
The director of Natanz Agricultural Jihad stated: The weakness of the packaging industry, lack of proper packaging and bulk export of saffron has caused other European countries to sell Iranian saffron with packaging and in the name of their country.
The saffron harvesting operation has started every year since the end of November, and in this work, all members of the family and even the natives of the neighboring cities participate in saffron farms in collecting flowers and drying the saffron stigma.
