Although Hamedan has favorable conditions for harvesting quality saffron, it does not have a large crop.

Hamadan can compete with Khorasan province in terms of quality, but in terms of annual production, it is not comparable to Iran’s saffron production hub. Although Isfahan has significant capacities in the field of saffron production and can produce high-quality saffron, it is not comparable to Khorasan province in terms of saffron production. Also, a significant part of Iran’s saffron export belongs to Isfahan province. Saffron is so important that the cities and countries that grow red gold celebrate the harvest of saffron flowers, in Iran, farmers celebrate their harvest happily, in Afghanistan, they hold a cultural week and plan to export it. In Spain, during the saffron harvest, many tourists go to this country to participate in the harvest celebration. Saffron brings
