At a price of $2,000 to $10,000 a pound, saffron is far and away the most expensive food on earth, way more than truffles, caviar, and real balsamic vinegar. Its history is epic; its flavor is revered. International organizations employ lab equipment to fuss over grading crops for flavor, color, and richness.
Most growing areas report an average yield of 10 lbs. of saffron per acre under cultivation. Your yields must cover the cost of the land and the labor, as well as processing and marketing. Manage the growing cycle. Saffron is a perennial, generating new corms (bulbs) every year, which must be separated and replanted. A given field is most productive in its third year, and most producers replant after five years to keep production high. This also requires labor, and must be budgeted in advance.
