Economy of 160,000 rural households dependent on saffron production
Hosseini, stating that the economy of 160,000 rural households in Iran depends on saffron production, emphasized:
Saffron is a product that Iranians spend about 5000 tomans to buy one gram of it,
and each gram of this product is worth about two dollars in world markets.
Therefore, the Ministry of Jihad for Agriculture should not be indifferent to the quality production of this product,
because in this case, the Iranian brand of saffron will be forgotten with repackaging in other countries.
He stated:
Lack of suitable complementary industries,
low production performance of this product per unit area and improper processing of this product are among the problems of saffron
that the Ministry of Jihad Agriculture should manage in a way that from production to saffron market is a concern for producers and exporters.
Does not exist.
A member of the National Saffron Council said:
a headquarters called the Saffron Crisis Headquarters should be formed in the country in order to produce 500 tons of saffron according
to the plan, following a slight increase in saffron production, which is done according to plans.
Also, the quality and health of saffron production should be seriously considered,
but if we want to continue our management mistakes in the production of this product,
the problems that arose for the Iranian pistachio market will be repeated for saffron.
