What is the importance of organic saffron production?
Organic saffron production comes with two essential benefits. Firstly, organic agriculture helps provide healthy and high-quality products to consumers. Next, by farming organically, we can maintain sustainable and safe standards for the environment and our team of growers.
In short, organic farming relies on agricultural techniques such as the use of green manure, crop rotation, compost, and biological pest control. These techniques help maintain soil productivity and pest control on farms. Organic farming leads to the growth of healthier products for consumers, enhances, and promotes biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. This can be accomplished by minimizing off-farm inputs and focusing on management practices that promote ecological harmony.
Although organic farming practices continue to develop, there is still room for progress. Research has shown the relationship that synthetic chemicals used in non-organic farming may lead to cancer and other chronic diseases. Therefore, it’s essential to continue improving organic agriculture to mitigate these risks.
Price of Organic Saffron
Organic saffron is a high-quality and valuable product that continues to gain international popularity. However, the quality and many benefits do come at a higher price tag.
In the Khorasan region of Iran, growers pay special attention to the production and export of this valuable product. Especially at the Zarlux Trading Group, we employ the latest agricultural methods by following international standards in the saffron industry. Therefore, the process of producing organic requires extra time, effort, and technology. These uses of modern methods to eliminate contaminants and perform laboratory quality control tests contribute to the higher price of organic saffron.
It is our goal at Zarlux Saffron to contribute to the growing market for natural saffron products in Iran and internationally and to continue promoting healthy practices for our ecological environment and consumer health.
Organic saffron requires more time and effort on our end. But in our option, the positive benefits are well worth it.
