Iran has experienced a 15.7% decrease in saffron export revenue despite a rise in price domestically and internationally. There has been a notable increase in saffron exports packaged in less than 30 grams, which made up 22% of total exports in the Iranian year 1402, up from 15.5% in 1401. The United Arab Emirates is the leading buyer, followed by China, Spain, and Afghanistan. In an effort to boost saffron exports, Iran is considering relaxing restrictions on exporters.
