We are proud to announce, following extensive work by our Research & Development team, the completion of our hydroponic system dedicated to saffron cultivation.

This milestone marks a key step in our commitment to revolutionize saffron farming in Morocco by offering producers a sustainable, efficient, and scalable solution.

Saffron, known as “red gold,” is one of the most precious spices in the world. Traditionally grown in specific soils, it requires intensive labor and a strict climate. At DAELMED, we are pioneering an innovative approach: hydroponic saffron cultivation—a promising solution to optimize production, save water, and ensure exceptional quality.

Why grow saffron hydroponically?

• Optimal water management: Saffron is water-intensive, but hydroponics drastically reduces consumption while maintaining a perfectly controlled environment.
• Precise nutrient control: Soilless cultivation ensures balanced and targeted nutrient delivery, essential for high-quality flowers.
• Reduced phytosanitary risks: By avoiding soil, the risks of diseases and pests decrease, limiting pesticide use.
• Better uniformity and yield: The controlled environment enables more consistent harvests and shorter growth cycles.

Significant economic development potential

Morocco, with its unique climate and agricultural expertise, is ideal for developing sustainable, high-quality hydroponic saffron production. This innovative process opens new economic opportunities for farmers while enhancing a traditional crop through technology.
