Afghanistan’s Saffron Exports to India, China and UAE

Afghanistan exported 69 tons of saffron worth $22 million during the previous solar year (March 2022 to March 2023), according to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

According to a statement from the Ministry, China, India, and the United Arab Emirates, received most of the saffron exports.

Afghanistan’s saffron is regarded as the best in the world and has received a three-star distinction from the European International Organization in Taste.

For the eighth year in a row, saffron grown and manufactured in Afghanistan has been deemed the highest-quality saffron in the world, according to a member of the Saffron Producers Union in Kabul.

Herat Province produces most of Afghanistan’s saffron; in most areas, saffron cultivation has replaced opium.

Saffron is uniquely placed to be a viable alternative in Afghanistan.

One kg of saffron may be purchased for up to $4,500 worldwide, costing at least $1,400 to 1,800 in Afghanistan.
