The latest price of saffron in the market inside and outside Iran
The price of saffron in the market differs from the purchase price of it by farmers by about 100,000 Tomans, and unlike other production sectors in agriculture, the highest profit of this product goes to saffron growers.
Ali Hosseini – Member of the National Saffron Council stated: Currently, saffron is sold in the domestic market for 4.5 million to 5 million Tomans per kilogram and 18,000 Tomans per gram.
He added that the highest profit of saffron goes to farmers, adding: The price of this product in the world market is more than $ 2,000 per kilogram, but Iranian saffron is offered in the world market below this price, which shows the high competitiveness of Iranian red gold.
This member of the National Saffron Council emphasized: If the price of Iranian saffron in the world market is less than $ 2,000 per kilogram, it does not mean that producers will suffer, but it shows that Iran can supply this product below its minimum world price, and in fact one of the reasons Iran’s competitors can not move to increase saffron production, Iran’s competitive power is high.
Double the added value of saffron by creating complementary industries
This member of the National Saffron Council emphasized: If we develop saffron complementary and conversion industries and its processing in the country, we can double the added value of red gold in food and non-food industries.
Hosseini expressed hope that the government would provide the necessary ground for strengthening the export of saffron products by laying the groundwork and appropriate policy-making; So that we can reduce the raw saffron export to one third of the current situation and allocate the rest to the export of products.
