Saffron Price by Origin in Saudia : Iran, Afghanistan, and Spain
While Agroota specializes in premium Iranian saffron, it's important for buyers in Saudi Arabia to understand the price differences between major global producers.
- Iranian (Persian) Saffron: This is the global benchmark for quality and value. Renowned for its high levels of Crocin (color) and potent aroma, our Iranian saffron wholesale program offers the best price-to-potency ratio. As a direct supplier, we eliminate intermediaries, ensuring you get the most competitive price.
- Afghan Saffron: A high-quality producer, often with saffron comparable to Iranian grades. However, due to logistical complexities and less consistent supply chains, its price in the Saudi market is often similar to or slightly higher than Iranian saffron.
- Spanish Saffron: Known for its PDO-protected "La Mancha" variety, Spanish saffron has a milder, toasted flavor. Due to significantly higher labor costs in Europe, its price per kilogram is often 50-100% higher than comparable Iranian grades, making it less economical for those looking to buy saffron in bulk.

- For Retail & Gourmet Shops: Retailers in Dammam and Khobar cater to a sophisticated clientele that values luxury and authenticity. For this market, our Super Negin Saffron is the top choice.

Saffron for Restaurants & Catering in KSA (زعفران للمطاعم والتموين)
In the competitive Saudi hospitality industry, the quality of your ingredients defines your reputation. For fine dining restaurants and large-scale catering operations, saffron is a signature of luxury and authenticity. Agroota is the trusted partner for chefs across the Kingdom, providing consistently high-quality Iranian saffron that delivers on flavour, appearance, and value. 👨🍳
Chefs’ Preferred Grades & Grind Sizes
Professional kitchens require versatility and performance. We supply the specific grades and forms that top chefs in KSA demand for their culinary creations.
- Chefs' Preferred Grade: Negin Saffron is the top choice for most culinary applications. Its long, all-red threads provide a stunning visual garnish for signature rice dishes like Kabsa and Saleeg, while its potent flavour is strong enough to infuse large pots of stock or sauce. It offers the perfect balance of beautiful presentation and powerful performance.
- For Infusions & Sauces: When pure, potent colour is the main goal for sauces, soups, or desserts, our Coupe (Sargol) Saffron is the most efficient choice.
- Grind Size: We strongly recommend purchasing whole threads over powder. This is the only way to guarantee 100% purity. For kitchens that need a fine powder for consistency in recipes, we advise grinding the threads in-house just before use to preserve the maximum aroma and flavour.
Cost-Per-Portion Tips to Protect Margins
Saffron is an investment, and using it efficiently is key to profitability. A little high-quality saffron goes a long way. Here are some professional tips to maximize your yield and protect your margins:
- Bloom Your Saffron: Never add saffron threads directly to a dish. To extract the most colour and flavour, first crush a pinch of threads and steep them in a small amount of warm (not boiling) liquid like water or broth for at least 20 minutes. This "blooming" process can triple the intensity, meaning you use far less saffron per dish.
- Make Saffron Water: For busy kitchens, prepare a batch of saffron water at the beginning of service. Bloom a gram of saffron in a litre of warm water. You can then use this potent, pre-made liquid to accurately and consistently flavour hundreds of portions of rice, soup, or sauces throughout the day.
- Buy Wholesale: The single most effective way to reduce your cost-per-portion is to buy saffron in bulk. Purchasing by the kilogram from a direct supplier like Agroota dramatically lowers your cost compared to buying small retail jars.
Saffron for Confectionery & Bakeries in KSA (زعفران للحلويات والمخابز)
For the creators of Saudi Arabia's finest sweets and baked goods, saffron is more than an ingredient—it's a signature of quality, tradition, and luxury. From the golden syrup of a perfectly made Kunafa to the delicate aroma of a saffron cake, this spice elevates your creations and sets your brand apart. Agroota is the trusted wholesale partner for confectioners and bakeries across the Kingdom, providing the perfect saffron grades for your craft. 🍰
Best Grades for Syrups & Infusions
The heart of many saffron desserts is the infusion—the process of extracting that beautiful color and flavor into liquids like syrups, milk, or cream. For this, you need a grade that is potent and efficient.
- Top Choice for Potency: Coupe (Sargol) Saffron is the professional's choice. Its all-red, high-potency threads have the highest concentration of crocin, meaning it releases the most intense golden color and robust flavor when steeped. It is the most efficient grade for creating vibrant, powerful syrups and infusions.
- Best Value for Volume: Pushal Saffron is the ideal workhorse for large-scale production. It provides an authentic saffron profile and beautiful color at a more accessible price point, making it perfect for bakeries producing high volumes of saffron-infused sweets where cost management is key.
Natural Coloring vs. Artificial Agents
In today's market, consumers are more aware than ever of the ingredients in their food. Choosing saffron over artificial yellow coloring agents (like Tartrazine/E102) is a powerful business decision.
- It's More Than Just Color: Saffron doesn't just add color; it adds a luxurious flavor and aroma that artificial agents cannot replicate. This elevates your product from a simple sweet to a gourmet experience.
- The Power of a "Clean Label": Modern consumers in the KSA are actively seeking natural, recognizable ingredients. Using real saffron allows you to market your products as "All-Natural" and "Free from Artificial Colors," a major selling point that builds brand trust and appeals to health-conscious families.
- A Mark of Authenticity: For traditional Saudi and Middle Eastern desserts, using real saffron connects your product to a rich culinary heritage, guaranteeing the authentic taste and appearance that customers expect and cherish.
By investing in natural saffron, you are investing in your brand's reputation for quality and authenticity. Request a sample to test the Agroota difference in your own recipes.

We handle the production so you can focus on building your brand. 🏷️
Bulk Packaging: 1 kg Vacuum Bags & 100–500 g Tins
For businesses that repackage in-house or supply to the food service (HORECA) sector, we offer professional, unbranded bulk packaging designed for maximum freshness.
- 1 kg Vacuum Bags: For industrial clients, we provide saffron in durable, multi-layered, vacuum-sealed bags. This method removes all oxygen, providing the ultimate protection for long-term storage.
- 100g to 500g Tins: Ideal for food service suppliers, these sturdy, airtight metal tins protect the saffron from light and moisture. We can apply a simple label with essential product info, leaving them ready for your own branding.
- Nitrogen-Flushed for Freshness: Upon request, we can use nitrogen flushing for all our tin packaging. This process replaces oxygen with inert nitrogen gas, which dramatically slows down degradation and preserves the saffron's color, flavor, and aroma for an extended period.
Retail Packaging: 0.5–2 g Blister Packs & Mini Glass Jars
For a direct-to-consumer brand, presentation is everything. We offer a range of elegant, retail-ready packaging options.
- Mini Glass Jars (0.5g, 1g, 2g): This is the classic, premium choice. A crystal-clear glass jar showcases the beautiful saffron threads, instantly communicating quality to the consumer. We can source a variety of jar shapes and lid types (cork, metal) to match your brand's aesthetic.
- Blister Packs (0.5g, 1g): A modern and secure option, blister packs are perfect for hanging displays in supermarkets and gourmet shops. They are tamper-evident and protect the saffron perfectly until it's opened by the end-user.

We help you navigate these requirements to ensure your product is professional, compliant, and ready for success. Start building your private label brand today.
Retail vs. Wholesale vs. Bulk (10kg+) Pricing Tiers
The quantity you purchase is the final key factor in determining your price per kilogram.
- Retail Price: This is the price per gram you see in a supermarket or spice souk (e.g., 40-60 SAR per gram). It is the highest price tier due to costs associated with small packaging, marketing, and retailer margins.
- Wholesale Price (1kg+): This is the standard for businesses. By purchasing 1kg or more, you bypass retailer markups and access professional pricing, significantly lowering your cost per gram. This tier is ideal for restaurants and mid-sized producers. You can learn about our Persian Saffron types here.
- Bulk Price (10kg+): This tier offers the absolute best value and is designed for large-scale operations. For distributors, major food manufacturers, and large hotel chains in Saudi Arabia, purchasing 10kg or more unlocks the most competitive bulk saffron price due to economies of scale.

What is today’s Iranian saffron price per KG in Saudi Arabia?
The price per kilogram for Iranian saffron in Saudi Arabia varies depending on the grade. As of October 2025, premium grades like Super Negin can range from 10,500 to 12,500 SAR per kg, while a value grade like Pushal might be between 6,500 and 8,000 SAR.

- For Luxury Retail: We recommend Super Negin Saffron. Its flawless, uniform threads have the ultimate visual appeal, justifying a premium price point and commanding attention on the shelf.
Do you offer private-label saffron in KSA?
Yes, we do. Our private label program is a complete OEM solution for businesses in Saudi Arabia. We provide everything from sourcing and packaging (in glass jars, tins, or blister packs) to guidance on SFDA-compliant Arabic labeling, helping you launch your own brand with confidence.
What documents are required for SFDA clearance?
While the final import clearance is handled by the buyer's broker, we provide a comprehensive set of export documents that are essential for a smooth SFDA review process. This pack includes the Certificate of Analysis (COA), ISO 3232 certification, a Certificate of Origin, and a Phytosanitary Certificate. Our experience ensures the provided documentation meets all necessary standards.
How do I verify saffron authenticity on receipt?
You can perform a simple test. Place a few threads in a glass of cold water.
- ✅ Real Saffron will slowly release a golden-yellow colour, and the threads themselves will remain intact and red for a long time.
- ❌ Fake Saffron will often bleed a dark red or orange colour immediately, and the threads may dissolve or lose their colour quickly.Authentic saffron should also have a distinct floral and earthy aroma, and a slightly bitter taste—never sweet.
What is your delivery time within Saudi Arabia?
Because we have local stock in Riyadh and Jeddah, our delivery times are exceptionally fast. For major cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, you can expect your wholesale order to arrive within 24 to 48 hours. For other regions in the Kingdom, the typical lead time is 2 to 5 business days.
How should I store my bulk saffron to keep it fresh?
To protect your investment, store your saffron in a cool, dark, and dry place. Keep it in the airtight container it arrives in, away from any direct sunlight, heat, or moisture (like a steamy kitchen area). Properly stored, saffron threads will maintain their peak potency for at least two to three years.
Is your saffron 100% pure? How is it tested?
Absolutely. Every batch of Agroota saffron is 100% pure Crocus sativus with no additives, preservatives, or artificial colouring. Our quality is verified by independent third-party laboratories according to the ISO 3232 standard, which scientifically measures its purity and potency. We provide the lab report (COA) for your batch with every wholesale order.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a wholesale order?
Our standard wholesale Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 1 kilogram. This accessible quantity allows businesses of all sizes—from single high-end restaurants to larger food factories—to access professional pricing and the highest quality Iranian saffron.
