Farmers and traders in Afghanistan are struggling to find international buyers for their saffron.
The spice is a major source of income and farmers say output has increased significantly this year.
But sales have been difficult since countries severed ties with Afghanistan when the Taliban returned to power last year.

Very sad,
Fate of this good poor people in the hand of
Good news coming from Afghanisthan
Can we get in contact with them in order to order saffron
👍
Intention is like deep water in the human heart, a wise man can draw from it.
Alhamdoulillah!. I think the leaders of Afghanistan should provide the best price regarding Saffron in the market. Irrespective of the severation, many will rush to buy due to the competitive price. However, such must be done while ensuring that the planters and those who are working in that industry have a decent life and can make progress in their personal ambitions. May Allah bless them and elevate them in success in both this world and in the hereafter. Ameen.
Sell it to Pakistan and they will buy it.
Feel bad for my afganistani people 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😞😞

Glad to learn what they can be global leaders at.
That’s what west does. If you don’t accept their moral values they will sanction you and starve you to death. Then they will talk about human rights.
Need more saffron recipes!
You mean Afghanistan is now the Saffron spice capital? 😂 I hope opium doesn’t infringe on this legal market. And kudos on showing women working like slaves. It doesn’t take an education to pick Saffron. The Taliban done good? 😮😂😅
Shannon, you’re not nice.Harvesting saffron flowers must be done manually.They don’t work like slaves.Taliban are not terrorists.With your attitude, you’re not in any moral position to judge other people.
