Saffron appears to merit close examination as a substitute for opium poppies.สาระสังเขป: 2. Returns per rai for safforn approximate those for raw opium. Moreover, London market prices for safforn have been rising rapidly over recent years due to rising costs in Spain, the major producing country. The comparison in favour of safforn may therefore be further enhanced.สาระสังเขป: 3. World trade in saffron in 1966 involved about 150 tonnes. London price in December, 1967, was 800 shillings sterling per pound (equivalent to 5,104 baht per kilogramme) but this price probably refers to above-average-quality material. Spanish exports alone, in 1966, were valued at 100 million baht.สาระสังเขป: 4. In 1966, Thailand imported 1,166 kilogrammes of saffron, almost wholly from India, at an average value of only 12 baht per kiloramme. Local production would therefore need to be aimed at the higher-quality export market, local demand apparently being for low-grade material.สาระสังเขป: 5. Apart from an attractive export market, saffron also has some other favourable features - it grows at altitudes similar to the opium poppy, the two crops have similar planting calendars - a highly important factor for the Maeo economy. Furthermore, saffron plucking would not interfere with rice harvesting as poppy tapping has done.สาระสังเขป: 6. At this stage, an expert horticultural appraisal seems to be warranted as well as a check on future price movements in the world market. Will the world price of saffron continue to rise?.
