Herat Saffron Named World’s Best Once Again by International Taste Institute
Saffron produced in Herat province of Afghanistan has once again been named the best saffron in the world by the International Taste Institute based in Brussels, an honor that highlights the product’s prominent position in global markets.
According to this evaluation, the quality, aroma, and flavor of Herat saffron met the standards of this international organization and received the highest score among similar products from various countries.
Located in western Afghanistan, Herat has recently become one of the country’s most important saffron cultivation areas. This product has played a significant role in the livelihoods of local farmers as an alternative to high-risk crops.
The renewed global recognition of Herat saffron could open new opportunities for exports and strengthen the local economy—a matter that requires sustained support for producers and easier access to international markets.
