Being single-crop producer and relying on the export of one single crop can be a good support for providing infrastructure for activities of other industries. On the other hand, as you know the age pyramid of our country-Iran- like other developing countries is a pyramid with a wide base which represents the increasing birth rate and subsequently, young population (1). This can be considered as an alarm for the authorities and the economic planners. For it causes them to contemplate on the fact that in addition to devising plans for exporting oil and gas, plans should also be employed in other sectors. In order to achieve the strategies related to the development of exports and rural development, more attention shall be paid to the agriculture sector than other sectors. There are special geographic conditions in the north-eastern of Iran, namely, Khorasan province and particularly in the southern and central Iran. Conditions such as being desert-like, having poor quality water, infertility of lands in terms of food elements required for the plants and the traditional methods of producing agricultural products are among the factors which have restricted the development process of agriculture in these regions (2). With regard to the issues mentioned above, the existence of the special conditions, production of such crops as saffron which needs little water for growth in comparison with other crops can find a more significant place in this region.
