Retail saffron prices across 24 producing and importing nations — expressed as USD per gram of saffron threads. Each beacon on the globe marks a country's live price trend.
Green is rising. Red is falling. Amber is holding. Prices refresh every 30 seconds. No Amazon pricing used.
The WSF Country Price Snapshot is an indicative retail reference compiled from publicly available retail market data, trade intelligence sources, and WSF-verified regional inputs. It is not sourced from Amazon and does not use scraped pricing.
All prices reflect consumer retail pricing for saffron threads — not wholesale, farm gate, or auction values. Retail prices are typically 3–10× farm gate depending on the supply chain.
Only stigma thread products are tracked. Powdered saffron, blends, and saffron-flavoured products are excluded as they carry a high adulteration risk and cannot be accurately graded without laboratory analysis.
Where the dominant retail grade for a country is known — Super Negin, Sargol, Kozani PDO, La Mancha PDO, Kashmiri GI — it is noted. PDO and GI designations carry formal regulatory protection in their country of origin.
All prices are converted to US dollars per gram using indicative exchange rates. Local prices in EUR, GBP, AED, INR, and other currencies are normalised at time of data entry.
Countries are classified as producers (where commercial saffron cultivation occurs) or importers (where saffron is traded and retailed but not grown at scale). Importer retail prices reflect supply chain margins, duty, and import costs.
This snapshot is a transparency and education tool. It is not a commodity exchange, not a guarantee of market value, and not financial advice. Prices are indicative and may not reflect any specific transaction or lot.
