“Fifteen years back, I exported five kilograms of saffron to Iran but no one bought it there, so I brought it back to Herat, I finally sold a kilogram for 9,000 afghanis to a pharmacist.” This was recalled by Nisar Ahmad, a resident of Pashton Zargon district of Herat province, who is among five persons who promoted saffron in their district for the first time.
