AT A GLANCE – Red Gold Rush: Managing Quality for Afghan Saffron Exports (Dari)
Saffron, the world’s most expensive spice, offers great potential for Afghan exporters. Developing a consistent brand for quality is the key to unlocking a ‘red gold’ rush, a priority sector of Afghanistan’s national export strategy.
