Saffron is a notoriously fussy spice to harvest: delicate and labor intensive. It is also a rare success story in Afghanistan, now the 3rd-largest #saffron producer in the world, behind Iran and India. Hashim Aslami, an aid worker, is one of the proud visionaries of the $25 million export industry that continues to grow despite Afghanistan's seemingly endless war. Hashim, 63, went village to village convincing farmers that even though harvesting the spice can be tricky and time consuming, the financial returns can be substantial: Known as “red gold,” the spice can sell for as much as $700 a pound on the local market and much more elsewhere. @kianahayeri shot this photo.
