Economic and Political Landscape

By engaging with local saffron producers, Safranor ​acknowledged the country's efforts, particularly those of the ​farmers, to rejuvenate its economy and exports despite its ​vulnerabilities. Corruption has diminished, and the irrigation of ​agricultural land has seen enhancements, leading to increased ​production. While freedoms continue to be suppressed, ​production yields remain favorable; however, logistics and ​transportation remain notably sluggish.

This field approach has established advantageous connections ​with farmers.

Its aim is to:

Encourage local agricultural production.

• Promote premium quality products.
• Offering assistance to farmers through equitable compensation.

Saffron is primarily cultivated in the province of Herat, which is ​justly celebrated as the foremost region for this crop.

Safranor conducted a survey across three regions of Herat ​province: Ghoryan, Pashton-Zarghon, and Gozorah.

Drying: The observed drying methods include shade, heating systems, ​electric ovens, and sunlight. These methods influence the final ​composition of saffron. The values of crocin (color) and picrocrocin ​(flavor) naturally diminish in the stigma cells during the processes of ​drying, storage, and extraction.

Soil and Climate: The chemistry and temperature of the soil can ​significantly influence the quality and yield of saffron.

Altitude: Research on the quantity and quality of saffron at varying ​altitudes has demonstrated a significant correlation between altitude and ​crocin content (color).

Fertilizers: Prior research indicates that organic fertilizers, irrigation, and ​soil fertilization significantly influence saffron quality. Consequently, the ​method of crop management may also impact pistil quality.

Our gold standard continues to be ongoing analysis, ​meticulous transport, and secure storage.

Safranor's field survey yielded encouraging results: the production quality from Afghan farmers competes with that of Gâtinais saffron and readily meets the ISO 3632-2 standard.

Safranor 2023

Our products integrate superior quality with competitive ​pricing. Each batch is certified and accompanied by a ​comprehensive analysis.

We ensure optimal quality in accordance with our ​specifications. Safranor guarantees deliveries that adhere ​to the ISO 3632-2 standard.

When quantities are inadequate or the resource is ​safeguarded, we explore the feasibility of cultivating it.

The processing of crops adheres to prevailing health ​regulations. Workers don gloves, masks, and hairnets, ​in accordance with the principles of the craft.

Women's labor constitutes a substantial contribution to ​household income. This essential financial asset must ​be protected.

We use air transport for import, thus preserving its quality.

The saffron is initially vacuum-sealed and subsequently ​packaged isothermally at 15°C temperatures.

Upon its arrival in France, the saffron is unpacked, stabilized ​at 40% humidity, vacuum-sealed in glass containers, and ​stored at a cool temperature (15°C).

Prior to handling, the room is sanitized using an ozone ​generator device.
