Reduction of saffron growers in Aligudarz city
Hamidreza Gholami stated: In 2014, saffron cultivation started in Aligudarz and the cultivation area was 30 hectares, which some other farmers did not continue.
He added: Several factors went hand in hand that a number of other saffron growers did not continue.
Gholami reminded: At present, the area under saffron cultivation in Aligudarz is 18 hectares, and because saffron seeds are perennial, the yield is different and we have a total production of 170 kg.
The director of Aligudarz Agricultural Jihad stated: Due to the climatic conditions, Aligudarz saffron has a good quality and we have a plan to increase this cultivation in the city.
He emphasized: If conditions are created for saffron to be sold under the Aligudarz brand, it will be very good and we can hope for an increase in the number of saffron-colored products.
Gholami said: Educational programs have a great role in promoting a crop and we have implemented programs in this regard.
