The golden red boom in Kurdistan
The director of the Jihad Agriculture gardens in Kordestan Province, Iran, said: “50 farmers have allocated 30 hectares of land to cultivate saffron, 20 hectares of which are fertile.
Hajji Mirza’i, referring to the fact that exploiters begin their harvest every year from the second half of November, added: The average harvest of saffron per hectare from the province’s farms is about four to five kilograms.
Bijar city in Kurdistan of Iran with 6 hectares of its gardens has the highest cultivar of the province.
Saffron, which is called red gold, in addition to the good profit that it has for farmers, can open the other legs of its conversion and complementary industries to Kurdistan and, on the other hand, reduce the province’s agricultural dependence on water resources. .
