Exporting Iranian saffron in bulk is not just about selling a spice—it’s about delivering quality, reliability, and consistency to global buyers. Known as the “red gold,” saffron is one of the world’s most delicate and valuable agricultural products, making logistics and cold-chain shipping a decisive factor in international trade.

At Tamila Agrifood Company, we specialize in connecting saffron growers with global distributors, importers, and institutional buyers. Our logistics solutions ensure that every shipment of saffron preserves its purity, aroma, and coloring strength from Iran to destinations worldwide.

Why Logistics Defines the Success of Saffron Export?

Unlike bulk commodities, saffron is extremely sensitive to:

•    Temperature changes – heat damages its essential oils and aroma.

•    Moisture exposure – humidity can cause clumping and loss of potency.

•    Light exposure – UV light reduces coloring power and active compounds.

Without professional handling, even the highest-grade saffron (Super Negin or Sargol) can lose its commercial value. That’s why integrated cold-chain logistics is essential to keep saffron fresh, certified, and market-ready.
