Increasing the Saffron by 2% based on research findings

Dr. Abdullah Mohafulabi, a member of the faculty at the Food Industry Institute, said that 80% of farmers are currently cultivating in August and September, said: “The best time to plant saffron is based on the research findings of the first half of June.
He continued: At the moment, the average yield per hectare is 3.8 kilos, while in this way we can double the minimum product.
“Since the product is an anticancer drug, we must avoid raw materials and work on processing,” he said. It is currently used in other countries in the manufacture of sunscreen, gum anti-acne ointment, cheerful pills and dyes for the beverage industry. In this case, we can add more value.
“Of course, saffron is currently used in saffron cake powder, saffron powder, saffron powder and saffron powder in Iran, which, of course, is very small and should be converted to other products for export,” Mullabyabi added. Worked on it.
“Also, in this field, factories in the polar field could be encouraged to invest in the process of processing it out of the state of medicines and as a medicine,” he said.
A member of the faculty member of Khorasan Razavi Food Industry Research Institute said: “Currently, teams abroad are experimenting with anti-cancer effects of saffron.” Domestically, medical and pharmaceutical schools are doing this to make it a third-millennium drug.
“Currently, Spain, although it produces about 1 tonne annually, it sells it to the European Union with the purchase of its saffron and packing it,” he said.
Another advantage of saffron was that of harvesting this product, he continued: “We offer farmers to buy onions from the right place, to disinfect it and use high density, and moreover, because of the organic nature of the product Be careful when using livestock manure, because if the product is contaminated it can not be cleaned, rinsed and disinfected.
A member of the faculty member of the Khorasan Razavi Food Industry Institute, emphasizing that farmers must make use of the research findings obtained in the last three decades by the researchers, adding that if these are met, we are confident that instead of keeping the farms For 8 years, and typically 40 kg of saffron, this will be done within 4 years with the same amount of product, and this is the most economical product that increases the value added of water due to the drought and costs per cubic meter One gram of water is harvested.
“Other points that farmers should pay special attention to is to remove the flower before sunlight, so that it does not melt, and also dry it faster, so that the active ingredient is preserved,” Moghuli added.
He said that Iran currently has the largest production of saffron and the level of cultivation and work added: Last year, the government bought and decommissioned 70 people for protecting farmers, which this year also intends.
Moghvalibi emphasized: “Given the fact that it is currently cultivating in 25 provinces of saffron, it says:” On average, about 270 people work on average each year, which we believe is where water is worthwhile and we can not cultivate. ” And the work of other products and we can not boost the industry in this area. Saffron is an excellent option. Therefore, the government has made arrangements in this direction and has made an agreement on buying this product in 3 provinces of Khorasan.
A member of the faculty of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, saying that saffron is the only product that grows in the proportion of 40 products cultivated in Khorasan, increases the economic, low water and possibly added value of water, said: “Currently, the surrounding countries due to the high cost of this Our rival product is this and we need to understand the importance of the issue because of its value.
“Unfortunately, the world is against us, and Saudi Arabia, India and China have set a 25% to 30% tariff on our saffron, while Afghanistan, which is the fourth largest producer country and the third largest exporter of saffron, does not have this tariff, so it needs to be able to Compete with the world and have a healthy, quality, and cheaper product than competitors in order not to lose the world market.
He emphasized: the world is looking for organic and healthy products, and since this product does not require any pesticide or fertilizer, we should be able to provide health and safety conditions such as the distance of this product with other fields, the non-use of chemical fertilizers within 5 years The past and the use of organic fertilizers, as well as drying the product in a healthy environment.
From the organizing of a saffron production workshop with an organic approach, he said: “In this workshop, we are looking to highlight the importance of saffron after harvest, which most of the products are exported raw, which should be revised in this case. Made
