		<description><![CDATA[Hi I am willing to purchase the entire Afghan saffron crop which I think is about 2,000 kilos for USA distribution.  By the way the price is $4,270 per kg and dropping like stone because the better crop in Iran 110+tm.  Spain will only produce about 1200 kg (not tonnes).  Spain is the biggest importer and exporter and also the biggest cheater.
If you can put me in contact with Afghan farmers it will be great.
Sincerely,
