Due to its many nutritional and medicinal uses, this product has attracted the attention of many people around the world, and as shown in the previous section, Iran enjoys not only a relative advantage but also an absolute advantage in its production. Therefore, it is possible to generate a large amount of foreign exchange resources by producing and exporting them.

Global development of saffron cultivation and emergence of new competitors

Non-commercial tariffs and barriers
تTariffs and Non-Trade Barriers Reduce Exports of Goods and Inefficiency in Trade Tariffs and Non-Trade Barriers. The same is true for saffron, and its exportation as a package makes it very expensive in the destination countries, reducing the demand for foreign consumers, and on the other hand, its bulk exports reduce the quality and fall of the product. It is through intermediaries who receive the most profits and do not earn much in the country. Inadequate and inaccurate support for saffron and weaknesses in the implementation of support following the victory of the revolution and with the policy of exit from the single-product economy and the development of non-oil exports, supportive policies were put on the agenda and saffron was one of the areas that received much attention. Bank policies included long-term interest-free loans, payment of government currencies to provide quality control equipment, and payment of large export bonuses. The policy of developing a non-oil economy was perfectly rational, but the tactics employed by saffron did not go the right way. If a support strategy aimed at promoting saffron trade (industry) in Iran, the support system should be focused on the production sector. Supporting saffron producers in material and spiritual terms, such as forming a true saffron trade union, conducting training programs, sending saffron workers to competing countries such as Spain, Greece, Kashmir and India to raise awareness of the capabilities and plans of global saffron competitors, Deploying to target markets in order to become familiar with the target culture and expectations of foreign customers, promote insight into the world market, needs assessments and standards, etc. could be very effective in developing and enhancing the ability to enter the global competitive arena and the sustainable development of the Iranian saffron industry. , But in practice the policy of support Saffron went into the development of the market. The granting of large facilities and loans for the establishment of saffron packaging companies has led to the unprecedented expansion of saffron packaging companies only to boost the business of such companies. Export awards have created a huge incentive for these companies to send more and more saffron across the border, and subsequently to the global decline in the quality and credibility of the Iranian saffron market.
