With the lifting of sanctions, Iran will resume saffron exports to the US after 15 years, said the head of Saffron Exports Development Fund. Mohammad Javad Rezaei added that a 20-kilogram consignment of saffron is ready to be sent to the US next week, ISNA reported. Iran exported close to 170 tons of saffron worth about $300 million mainly to the UAE, China and Italy in the last Iranian year (ended March 20, 2015).
