Destruction of Iranian saffron is the fourth national scourge

Saffron is one of the strategic products in Khorasan Razavi, where Iran alone provides 75% of the world’s needs. However, as it should be, no special attention has been paid to this product. A product that, in addition to creating employment, can make Iran a first-rate country in saffron production.

However, today this product is exposed to dangers that could possibly lead to its destruction, experts refer to this complication as the fourth national disaster.
Gholamreza Miri, president of the Khorasan Razavi Saffron Traders’ Union, said that those who collect saffron flowers on the farm should use gloves and that the collected flowers should not be disposed of in chemical bags and disposable plastic containers, but should be used in baskets. Do not damage these flowers, then with the same baskets it is possible to transfer the flowers to separation places.
He added: there should be a hall or a place where saffron flowers are separated, a hall or a place that is approved by the health department. Hats and gloves should also be used during work, otherwise saffron will be contaminated with germs.
The head of the Khorasan Razavi Saffron Traders’ Union pointed out: In addition, the hair of the ladies or gentlemen who separate the saffron should not be present in it, because a 100 or 200 kg shipment is returned due to the presence of a hair.
Miri continued: Saffron should be packed immediately after separation with a dry heater and in sanitary packages of aluminum file, metal container, glass or plastic to maintain the quality of saffron, but if this plant dries naturally or in the sun, its coloring power It is lost and pollution is added to it.
