It was better for supply and demand to determine the price of saffron

Ali Hosseini, stating that it would have been better if we had allowed supply and demand to determine the final price of saffron, said: If we are going to price in an orderly manner, its infrastructure must also be provided. That is, if we can say at what price saffron should be sold, if we have sufficient financial resources to attract several hundred tons of saffron and the export has the necessary acceleration.

He continued: “In other words, if the export markets are active, there are financial resources to attract saffron and the farmer has enough liquidity, prices will not fall, the farmer does not have to sell his products below the price to provide liquidity, the market It is balanced and does not require a grammatical price.

Vice President of South Khorasan Saffron Association added: Representatives of Torbat and Ghaen cities in a joint meeting with the National Saffron Council, the union, several farmers and exporters have reached a conclusion on the price of new saffron. But it was better to determine the ceiling and floor price of saffron at the peak of its harvest. Although we respect the set price, we support it.

Emphasizing that we must strengthen the financial strength of the farmer, the saffron producer said: “The announced prices are reasonable considering the efforts of farmers and inflation in recent years, but they are not enough, because these figures may not be operational and at this price.” Do not buy or sell.

Yesterday, the National Saffron Council announced the price of new saffron flowers at 150,000 Tomans per kilogram, straw at 16 million Tomans per kilogram and Negin at 20 million Tomans per kilogram.
