Iran leads the world in the ‘red gold’ production

Saffron, which is generally called “red gold”, is the most expensive spice in the world. Trocus comes from the stigmatization of the sativus flower and is known for its bright color, rich aroma and different taste. Among the countries that train saffron, Iran stands far ahead of the rest of the rest. Iran produces approximately 90% of world saffron with estimates with more than 190 to 430 metric tons every year. This makes Iran not only the largest saffron manufacturer, but also the best exporter of this valuable spice. The country’s success in saffron production is the result of several important factors. First, Iran’s climate is perfect for saffron cultivation. Semi -arid and dry air, cold winters and hot, dry springs, Cigdem flowers to grow well and high yield allows. Regions such as Khorasan, Kerman and Ilam are especially known for saffron farming.

Secondly, Iran has a long history and rooted traditions in saffron cultivation. Farmers in rural areas have helped maintain quality and increase productivity by transferring manual harvesting techniques for generations. The process of choosing saffron stamps is sensitive, but Iranian farmers dominated it.

The Iranian government also plays a strong role. Safran supports farmers with policies and programs that provide good production and protect export standards. As a result, the Iranian bile is known for its deep red color, strong flavor and color and taste of saffron worldwide.

Apart from Iran, other countries such as India, Spain, Greece and Morocco grow saffron, even though they are less.

India is the second largest manufacturer in Jammu and Kashmir, growing between 6 to 22 metric tons per year.

Spain produces 1 to 8.3 metric tons every year from La Mancha. Spanish saffron is known for its lighter flavor.

Greece, especially the Kozani region, is growing about 3 to 4 metric tons and the biliary is premium quality.

Morocco, the largest manufacturer of Africa, is growing 1.5 to 2 metric tons annually in Taliouine region. Morocco Safran has a unique taste.

While these countries offer their own unique saffron varieties, Iran continues to be a global leader – thanks to the ideal climate, traditional agricultural methods and government support.
