Kashmiri Saffron launched in the UAE market after getting the GI tag
The Jammu and Kashmir government recently launched Kashmiri Saffron, which has got the Geographical Indication (GI) tag, in the UAE market, to boost its business in West Asia. Kashmir-born Saffron was given the GI tag in July, which aims to bring the Kashmir Valley brand globally.
Jammu: Kashmir Principal Secretary (Agriculture) Naveen K Chowdhary offered Kashmiri Saffron at India Food Security Summit 2020 held in UAE on Tuesday. Chaudhary said I am happy that for the first time Kashmiri Saffron has been introduced in the UAE market. Kashmiri Saffron, called Jafrana in Urdu, is globally famous as a spice with many medicinal benefits. It also represents the rich cultural heritage of Jammu and Kashmir. Chaudhary said that after getting the GI certificate, Kashmiri saffron was exported for the first time. He said I am sure that its exports will increase further in Dubai and other cities of UAE.
