Reduction of 25 Percentage saffron production in Torbat Heydarieh
Hamidreza Abbaspour, director of Agricultural Jihad in Torbat Heydarieh, Mashhad, said: “Our forecast of a total of eight thousand and 900 hectares of saffron land was about 38 tons, but due to the lack of rainfall in the fall and winter and the increase in summer heat This year we were faced with this decline.
In response to the criticism of some saffroners that Torbat-e-Heydarieh’s saffron refuse to buy any type of saffron, and therefore they were forced to sell their saffron this year at a negligible price, added: “First, a private stock exchange that meets certain standards It is ours and we can not make a directive for it. Secondly, last year, when the government implemented an agreement, a total of 300 tons of saffron produced was purchased only 70 USD.
Director of Agricultural Jihad, Torbat Heydarieh, said the stockpile capacity of Torbat Heydarieh is limited, saying that if the stockbroker wants to acquire new capacity, he will have to pay $ 15 billion in bonds and insurance to the stockbroker if he wants to take new capacity.
Abbaspour stated: “If he buys from around the world he wants to buy Torbat Heydarieh saffron, it is the legal right of the stock exchange to supply a product that is past the screening of the laboratory’s analysis and is in any way impeccable, because if it’s different, trust The stock goes away.
He added: “On the other hand, we have repeatedly announced to the farmers that during the harvest season, they will refuse to supply their products and in fact they are to blame for the farmers who sell at once and with a large volume of saffron, which leads to a drop in prices.
The director of agricultural Jihad in Torbat Heydarieh also said that those who ship their saffron to the stock exchange concluded a stock exchange agreement with the National Bank, in response to the question that farmers have incurred high costs and have no choice but to sell their crops. The bank pays a loan of USD 10 million to a farmer with a commission fee of 18% per pound of delivered sown.
