Cultivating saffron in Odisha involves selecting a suitable location with well-drained, sandy loam soil and a climate with hot, dry summers and cool winters. The saffron corms are typically planted in late summer or early fall, about 10-15 cm apart, and require minimal irrigation. Regular weeding and monitoring for pests are essential, and saffron is harvested in late autumn when the flowers bloom. Proper post-harvest processing is crucial to maintain the quality of the saffron.
Saffron is primarily grown in regions with a Mediterranean climate, with Iran being the largest producer, accounting for about 90% of the world's supply. Other notable countries that cultivate saffron include India (particularly in Kashmir), Spain, Greece, and Morocco. The saffron crocus, from which the spice is derived, thrives in well-drained soil and requires specific growing conditions, including dry summers and cool winters.
It will be endemic to Orissa.
