The International Institute for Taste and Quality Assessment chose Afghanistan as the world’s best producer of saffron for the third year in a row. Since Afghanistan is traditionally known as an agricultural country, this is a significant achievement for the agriculture sector. Furthermore, agricultural reform is important to establish economic development, long-term stability, and a great alternative to replace opium poppy crops with the world’s most expensive spice.
Can Afghanistan shed its status as the world’s top opium producer, if it continues this progress in replacing poppy with saffron?
