Why Smart-Grown Saffron?
- Multiple Harvests Per Year (vs. Traditional 1x per Year)

Precision-Controlled Environment for Consistent Quality
- Consistently high crocin levels (saffron’s primary active compound for colour & potency).
- Optimised aroma and flavour profile, critical for luxury markets.
- Uniform drying processes to maintain purity & longevity.
- Dramatically higher yield per m². Traditional saffron farms produce only 3-5 kg per hectare due to low flower density. With vertical stacking, AI automation, and hydroponic efficiency, our farms can increase yields by 300-500%.
Water & Resource Efficiency – 90% Less Water Usage
Saffron traditionally requires semi-arid conditions and extensive irrigation. Our hydroponic & aeroponic systems reduce water waste while maintaining perfect soil-free growing conditions.
Our Saffron Operations
- 2 large-scale AI-driven saffron farms in Ethiopia
- Targeting luxury markets in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries
Scalable, Global Market Expansion
By shifting saffron production into indoor vertical farms, we eliminate geographic limitations – allowing for year-round, location-flexible production in urban centres, industrial parks, and controlled agribusiness hubs.
Saffron Applications Include:
Pharmaceutical-grade extracts for anti-inflammatory & neuroprotective treatments.
Luxury culinary markets (Michelin-star restaurants, gourmet food production).
Cosmetic applications (anti-aging serums, saffron-infused skincare).
