Support for organic saffron production in Afghanistan

Abstract

This project supports the enhancement of organic saffron production in Herat, Afghanistan. It aims to strengthen local capacity and improve yields and quality by providing remote technical expertise from FiBL Switzerland. 

The consultancy will analyse production challenges, identify causes of underperformance, and propose short-term and long-term solutions. Collaboration with the local companies Afghan Royal Saffron (ARS) and Afghanistan Red Gold Saffron (ARG) is central to the approach. The project combines expert technical recommendations, international knowledge exchange, and local engagement to establish a sustainable basis for market growth and resilience.
