A 17 to 20 percent decrease in saffron exports in the year 2022
The vice president of the National Saffron Council stated that the amount of saffron exports in 2021 was 268 tons, and last year’s exports did not even reach 225 tons, meaning we had a 17 to 20 percent decrease in saffron exports in 2022.
The restrictions imposed on saffron exports led to an increase in saffron smuggling to neighboring countries.
Last year, we had 225 tons of saffron exports, and approximately 40 percent of this amount was smuggled.
