Kesar Kottage
Kashmiri Kesar, one of the noble spice as it is called might be one of costliest. With a distinguished aroma and fragrance it not only adds flavor to thousands of recipes all over the world but also has got a religious value to carry with it. Often compared with gold because of its market price & value, Saffron may appear so for its consumers but it do not gives the same benefit to its cultivators. Like the supply chain of every other agricultural product, it also gives little proportional share in the upstream. In simple words the Kashmiri Saffron farmers who are supposed to get the most benefit from the high price of it get unfortunately the least (as mentioned, like every other agricultural product). Now concerning the consumer side of the Saffron, it has lost its charm a bit due to the adulteration issues going on for last few years, hence challenging the faith of consumers on it.
