Kashmir's Saffron Town Gets A Reality Check From Iran
A group of Iranian scientists walked into Pampore this winter and said what many farmers here already feel.
Saffron in Kashmir is running on memory. In Iran, it runs on systems.
The five-day visit brought a senior delegation from Iran's Ministry of Agriculture to Kashmir under a joint programme hosted by SKUAST-K and ICRISAT. The team was led by Elham Fattahifar, who oversees greenhouses and medicinal plants in Iran, along with saffron scientist Parisa Pourali and field specialist Ramin Esmi.
They moved through saffron fields, sat with farmers, and spent hours with researchers.
