stating this matter and referring to the beginning of saffron harvest from 4067 hectares of cultivated farm in this city, stated that the approximate value of dry saffron produced this year in Ghainat is 308 billion Rials.

Due to consecutive droughts and lack of timely rainfall in winter and April,
the amount of saffron produced in the city this year has decreased significantly compared to last year.
He stated:
This year, to support saffron growers, 320 kg of micronutrient fertilizer, 375 sieves and 92 flower harvest baskets were distributed,

training classes were organized by this management for 1800 saffron. City work was held.
He said that one of the main problems of saffron growers in the current situation is the lack of water to irrigate saffron fields due to the decline
of groundwater aquifers.
