In this post we will focus on two producing areas, Iran, which is the country that produces the most saffron worldwide and Spain, where saffron is produced with the best quality in the world. The differences are as follows:. In Spain the cost of production is much higher than in Iran, for several reasons, in Spain the production comes from family farms and through traditional and artisan cultivation, for the tasks related to the azafranal a tractor and rigs are used that cost money and the hours of work of the collectors and debris they are suitable for decent work.
On your right you can see a color image of the Iranian saffron. In Iran there are different production modes, there are farmers who have a small plot dedicated to cultivation, the means are very rudimentary and the flower they collect is sold in markets dedicated to this purpose, what they get for the flowers is laughable but it is such the level of poverty in which they live which is the only means that provides them something to survive, packagers who buy the flower and take advantage of the ungrateful effort of the farmer work margins very high can offer a low price in the market and the treatment of the flower is very inadequate because the conditions of conservation of the flower, until the saffron is roasted are not at all adequate obtaining a final product of medium-low quality.
There are also large farms where the flower is obtained practically without cos therefore the labor of collectors has a very low remuneration, the same goes for debrisers, the pay they get is miserable, these low salaries make saffron much cheaper to obtain than in countries where these habits would be taken into account as working exploitation.
