I've long advocated that we buy the dope at the farmer's door. Last numbers I read indicate about $700m of a $2.0B+ industry goes to the farmer.
We buy it for $1.0B-above market rate. We also arm the farmers and suggest cooperatives to protect their crops from theft before purchasing by a UNODC or ISAF agent/officer.
Finally, we shift the market to saffron. Sells for nothing now between Iran and Italy/Spain but if the PACKAGING can be taken in locally, the profitability goes way up.
Make the price of a plate of Paella finally get reasonable. Seafood paella and a nice white Rioja...
