The head of the National Saffron Council, expressing frustration over the international internet outage, says: These restrictions have severely impacted exporters; the lack of internet has prevented many exporters from communicating with international customers or sending their goods on time.

Mohsen Ehtesham emphasizes: This situation has created a new opportunity for foreign competitors like Afghanistan, allowing them to register and market Iranian saffron under their own name in the global market.

Ehtesham states: Unfortunately, exporters have recently been unable to maintain direct contact with international customers due to the internet outage; they couldn't even communicate with them to ensure that the goods had reached them. This issue not only limited exports but also diminished the status of Iranian saffron in the global market.

It has been exactly two months since the unprecedented internet outage in Iran, and depriving Iranians of this civic right has caused serious and, in some cases, irreparable damage to the livelihoods, economy, and mental well-being of the people.
