Saffron is an aromatic, bitter grassy spice fabricated from a flower named crocus sativus which belongs to the Iridaceae plant family used for food coloring.

Saffron is one of the costliest (by weight) and most commonly used seasoning and coloring agents that confer adequate color to foods. Safranal, crocin, crocetin, kaempferol, and monoterpene glycoside picrocrocin are examples of chemical compounds that are found in this medicinal spice and help in preventing certain brain complications. Moreover, they safeguard body cells from free radical attacks. Apart from antioxidants, saffron is home to vitamins such as riboflavin, vitamin A. Vitamin C, and niacin play a decisive role in ensuring the overall health of the body. The ascending awareness among people regarding health benefits and heightened demand for packaged food, natural coloring agents, and spices like chili powder are factors set to drive the growth of the Saffron Market for the period 2022-2027.

Saffron Market Segment Analysis-By Application

The Saffron Market based on the Extension of application type can be further segmented into personal care products, food & beverages, nutraceuticals, and others. The food & beverages segment held the largest share in 2021. The growth is owing to the high demand for the charismatic aroma and flavor of the saffron during the preparation of a persity of dishes. Saffron works as a featured spice in soups, seafood (paella, bouillabaisse), pasta, chicken, stews, and many others. Moreover, considering the health hitches associated with artificial food coloring products, the confectionery and bakery industry is slightly moving toward healthy options like saffron. Moreover, saffron is widely infused into milk as it helps in enhancing appetite, immunity, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, the nutraceutical and personal care product segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing with a CAGR of 9.3% over the forecast period 2022-2027. This growth is owing to the rising demand for dietary supplements and cosmetics. Saffron-made lotions and creams protect skin from the harmful effect of UV rays, reduce hyperpigmentation, and support rapid healing of wounds. Rising possessiveness among youngsters regarding their outer appearance is providing fairgrounds for the growth of the saffron market. On another hand, dietary supplements are being used extensively to maintain the nutritional value of the diet.

Saffron Market Segment Analysis-By Forms

The Saffron Market based on the basis of forms can be further segmented into strands and powder. The strands segment held the largest share in 2021. Even though both the forms have no such difference in their nutritional value but there are a few factors that drive people toward thread form more than the powder. Threads have more appealing aesthetics compared to powder; as well as it is quite easy to practice adulteration in powder as compared to threads. In addition to that, strands hold a high shelf life of 2-3 years; whereas powder lasts only 3-6 months. Nevertheless, the powder segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing with a CAGR of 9.9% over the forecast period 2022-2027. This growth is owing to the eventful lifestyles of people. The problems with threads are that they need proper preparation before use; whereas, the powder can be used directly which saves time. Unlike threads, the powder gets dispersed on a dime and provides color are aroma within a fraction of seconds.

Saffron Market Segment Analysis-By Geography

The Saffron Market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific held the largest share with 41% of the overall market in 2021. The growth in this segment is owing to the factors such as the presence of the biggest saffron-producing countries like India and Iran. India, China, and Iran are amongst the top exporters of saffron to the world. Saffron produced in Iran and India is considered to be of top-notch quality; therefore, always remains in demand. The perse climate of Iran and favorable weather and altitude of Indian states especially Kashmir extend a conducive environment for saffron cultivation. Not to mention, India and Iran are recognized for their massive tea consumption; therefore, augmenting the trend of saffron tea is further stimulating the market demand. However, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East are expected to be the fastest-growing segments over the forecast period 2022-2027. This growth is owing to the growing living standards of people and rising awareness regarding health benefits linked with saffron consumption. On another hand, after the Taliban take over Afghanistan which is one of the biggest saffron-producing countries, the demand for Indian and Iranian saffron has heightened.

Saffron Market Drivers

Rising saffron production and demand are anticipated to boost market demand.

According to a report by Iran's national Saffron council, with a 30 percent hike, Iran’s saffron exports reached 325 tons in FY20-21. Similarly, it has exported nearly 206 tons of saffron within the first 9 months of the current fiscal year. There is no doubt about it that the pandemic has adversely impacted the production and export of countries but the situation is very likely to go normal as the pandemic is coming to an end. On another hand, the growing usage of saffron as a coloring and flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry is likely to support the growth of the saffron market.

Rising cosmetic demand and augmenting health complications are expected to boost the market growth.

Most people especially youngsters in today’s world are concerned with their looks. They want to do everything to feel accepted. In recent times, disliking one’s appearance is a pretty common phenomenon. According to a report, nearly 60-61 percent of teenagers worldwide have body dissatisfaction. Therefore, many people including teens and adults are tilting toward saffron owing to its wide-ranging applications in personal care. On another hand, being a powerful source of antioxidants and essential nutrition, saffron helps in reducing obesity and cancer threats. Obesity is a big issue in North America and the Southwestern Pacific Ocean. Obesity rates in nations like Nauru, Palau, and the Cook Islands are over 55 percent with a body mass index over 32. Also, growing mechanization is spiking the obesity figures around the globe.

Saffron Market Challenges

Exorbitant prices and environmental threats are Anticipated to hamper the market growth.

Saffron is the costliest spice in the world. Even buying 1 kg of it can up to INR 3.5 lakh. Therefore, the extortionate price of saffron can prove to be its biggest challenge in the steady growth of the aforementioned market. Even though the living standards and disposable incomes are rising in developing countries but still millions are in extreme poverty in countries like India and struggling to earn one-time food. In addition to that, altering the course and duration of seasons is anticipated to pose severe threats to saffron cultivation and its overall yield.

(Leyraa -> @windy-trickster)

--------------

Your name is Safron Zurgaz, and, for the first time in your stay at the House, you feel trapped.

Daily life has continued as usual. While you’d been asked a minimal amount of questions regarding Leyraa’s sudden disappearance, they had been of a tame manner. What had the two of you talked about? Had Leyraa been acting strange prior to her disappearance? Did Leyraa ever say anything that may have indicated she was planning on leaving?

Your answers were easily verifiable via the security cams the Church had variously stationed throughout the House. It helped that you’d never exactly been assigned to Leyraa either, per se, so you were never in charge of her whereabouts or what she did, especially seeing as she was a rank higher than you were. You’d been given… certain relevant information, of course. It had been given to all the other authorities in your sect, solely so those of you who interacted with her knew to be careful.

She’d had a troubled past, Deacon Zarios had said. It’s best if you avoid mentioning her past at all. At her request, we’ve wiped her memories. Help her start her new life here, Safron. Keep her from making the same mistakes that brought her here. You, of all people, should be able to understand.

You ended up seeing a lot of Leyraa. Working together through daily mass, becoming familiar with how the other preferred to do things. You inadvertently helped train Leyraa, seemingly the one person she was more comfortable with asking questions. Eventually, you began to see more of each other. In your free time, you would find yourself idling nearby wherever she happened to be, and vice versa. You would converse about small things at first, joking about the “weather” and commenting on different constellations that would be visible soon.

Zarios seemed to pick up on your budding relationship with Leyraa. One time, after daily mass, Zarios held you behind while the Proxies and other Disciples left to clean up the chapel. With a warm smile, he lightheartedly inquired about how things were going for the two of you. You didn’t think anything of it at the time—Deacon Zarios was known for personally checking in on people; it was one of his many traits that had earned him his title as a clergyman. You were honest with the man. You believed that you and Leyraa would become good friends, having had several friendly conversations since Leyraa’s arrival.

Can I confide in you for a moment, Safron? The Deacon’s expression had turned serious, sending tiny pinpricks across your skin. You consented.

I think you’re doing outstanding work, he began, especially with Leyraa. It seems you’ve really made her feel welcome here.

The Deacon paused, a contemplating look on his face. Then, a smile, as if the answer had unfolded itself before him. You may have sensed this already, but Leyraa is special. The world she’s left behind is entirely different than the one you or I came from—under any other circumstances, providing her with an amnesiac would have been out of the question. You understand that, don’t you?

You nodded. It went without saying, or so you had thought. While the Church taught the value of balance in one’s life, emphasis was always placed on one’s own free will—the decision to continue to forge one’s new life instead of returning to the old, the decision to stay here in the House. It was taught that every troll in the House had come here of their own volition. So, in your mind, it followed that despite Leyraa’s amnesia, she had ultimately chosen this life for reasons unknown to you.

Leyraa’s prying into your own past hadn’t been much of a surprise—she’d been curious from the very moment you’d met her. While Zarios warned you to avoid mentioning her past, he’d said nothing about your own. It wasn’t against Church mandate to speak about one’s past. It was encouraged by the Church, in fact, comparisons between the trolls you are now and the trolls you used to be called upon in daily mass. Leyraa had been interested enough, so you told her how you used to be a street urchin, conning others for no other reason than to Obtain.

She pointed to the belief that you were only doing what you had to survive. You had shaken your head, relapsing into Disciple mode where you explained that Survival had been your excuse for sinning—for Obtaining. A troll needed not what you had sought. Leyraa seemed to grasp the concept, although there was a slightly opaque look to her eyes, giving you the feeling that she didn’t entirely agree. You’d shrugged it off at the time. Nobody started off as a total believer. It was something that grew with practice.

As for your coming to the House, you’d explained to Leyraa that after being caught with illicit substances for the last time, you’d been sentenced to an execution of sorts. On Eclipta, the far-off gray planet that orbited in the distance, you were legally dead, never to return. Two Spectres arrived at your holding cell to escort you, and you’d been terrified at the time. How odd it was, to look back at when you first arrived and remember how utterly confused and scared you had been. Disbelieving, even, that somebody such as yourself would be sent to a haven like this, where you were treated not as a criminal, but as a living being.

A period of silence seemed to envelop the two of you at that point as you wistfully reflected on your journey to who you’d become. Amid your own thoughts, you had noticed Leyraa become interested in the adjacent window. She gazed out into the stars thoughtfully, her eyes darting back and forth as if searching for something. It had been nice, you remember. Just sitting together quietly and staring out into infinite space.

Had that been the beginning, you wonder? Thinking back, you struggle to pinpoint exactly what transpired, what specific thought you’d had, or action you’d committed that must have eventually snowballed into the agonizing claustrophobia you feel today. Not too long ago–barely a month before Leyraa had disappeared, it must have been–you remember having had inklings of this feeling. It seemed like Leyraa had entered something of an absent mood as of late. She would fail to respond immediately, often needing to be called multiple times to gather her attention. Even when alone together, you’d felt as if she were miles away in her own thoughts.

“How come I’m not allowed to leave?” she blurted suddenly. It had taken you by surprise, as your mind had currently been fixated on which flowers you wanted to put out for mass the next day. You asked Leyraa to repeat herself, which she did.

Your answer was automatic: of course she was free to leave. All members were free to leave if they wished. It was something you’d grown so used to hearing that the phraseology was unconscious.

“How come nobody ever leaves?” she responded.

That was an easy one: everyone was happy here. You disliked how her question, and your answer, made your stomach knot up.

“Then,” Leyraa finally cast her eyes onto you. “What if I’m not happy here?”

How her eyebrows pinched and how her eyes searched yours did something to you. And for once, you didn’t have the answer. You’d opened your mouth automatically to reply, then hesitated, and finally shut it again, sitting silently at a loss for what to say.

Something firmed up in Leyraa’s face. She cast her eyes away, back out to the starry window view, her lips pressed thin. She gave an imperceptible nod, as if to herself, sighing as if something great weighed on her shoulders. For the first time in a long time, you didn’t know what to say. So, like you had done many times before, you sat together in silence, star-gazing through the window. Except this time, it felt like a dark shadow loomed over you, just barely outside your cognizance.

Only a week or two passed between then and the next conference between you and Zarios. Looking back, maybe you had been a little moodier than usual. You hadn’t realized it at the time, but it was possible that something shadowed your conscience, slowly eating away through your nerves. On the surface, nothing had changed between you and Leyraa. What, if anything, did actually change, you still honestly can’t say. All you know is you were feeling… different. And Zarios noticed.

Safron, Deacon Zarios had addressed you. It was difficult to know whether the things Zarios did were intentional on his behalf—had he been searching for you specifically? Or did he just so happen to be passing by you in the hallway, you on your way to the library, and him on his way to… somewhere else? By the tone of his voice, you understood he wished to speak and acquiesced to follow him into a nearby empty lounge room.

How are things? Zarios had asked you. You recall admitting to him that you weren’t feeling well lately, that perhaps you needed to rework your sleep schedule or find more time during the day to rest. Zarios had nodded in understanding. These things are sent to try us.

A vague answer that you never really knew how to respond to. Zarios was silent for a moment before continuing.

How is your relationship with Leyraa coming along?

Again, you were honest. You were worried about her. Of course, you’d had a bit of trouble acclimating to The House when you first joined, but you couldn’t recall ever having felt as lost as Leyraa seemed to be feeling. Zarios nodded comprehendingly, gazing into your eyes with his three. You hesitated, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, sensing that you were holding something back as clearly as if you had been holding your own breath.

You gave in easily. You asked if anybody had ever left the House—had anyone ever been so unhappy as to do so? Zarios gave you a pitying look that stirred something dark in your stomach.

No, sweet child. I take it you have reason for asking this… Has something been troubling you, Safron?

You bit your lip, then explained that you had been thinking about Leyraa when you asked. You wondered about her free will. Was it right to keep her bound to her original desires when she was no longer that person? Did she have the freedom to leave as the rest of the Church did?

Zarios seemed to contemplate your inquiries seriously. He didn’t respond for several minutes. Finally, when he did respond, he folded his hands over yours, his warm skin radiant against your own.

I have not been wholly forthcoming with you, Safron. I beg of your forgiveness.

You replied with your forgiveness automatically, without needing to think about it. He nodded.

We all are sinners, Safron. We all have our own burdens to shoulder, and Leyraa is no different. However, Leyraa is—was—a killer.

You recall trying to imagine sweet, innocent-faced Leyraa as anything but the person you knew her as. She could be sassy, and she had her moods, but you’ve never been able to imagine her as anything malevolent or malicious. Your bemusement must have shown clearly on your face because Zarios then kindly smiled.

She was a unique kind of killer, Zarios continued. Hired by the empire to commit specific acts of murder.

You had done your best to follow the sentiment but still felt lost. Confused, you questioned what it was that had brought her to the House, then. Had she changed her mind about how she had been living?

Fate brought her to us as it did for you, Zarios replied cryptically. His face softened with amusement at the sight of your furthered confusion. Her own actions led her here. For her own protection, we aided her transition to living here with an amnesiac. As you are on Eclipta, she, too, is considered legally dead.

Your head swam at his words. Thinking back now, your mind still reels at the revelation. At the time, despite the gnawing pit in your stomach, Zarios’ tone had been so matter-of-fact that, even if you didn’t see it, you believed there had been perfect logic and reasoning for what happened to Leyraa.

And then the emergency alarms, just a week later, waking you from your slumber. Red and white lights strobing from the fire alarm above your front door. Hazily, you had stumbled from your bed, fumbling with the tie of your robe and tripping over yourself in your haste to leave the room. Opening the door, something paper had crunched and rustled. Distracted by the alarm, you almost didn’t stop to inspect it, but a glimpse of glittery, purple gel pen writing on a sheet of paper stopped you.

Her letter still resonates in your mind. Even though you instinctively burned the paper to ash immediately after reading it, the contents still turn over and over inside your skull. Accusations, regret, sorrow, bitterness, all blind-siding you before the discovery of the missing escape pod—what had triggered the emergency alarms in the first place.

You sit on the edge of your bed. Zarios has given you the week off despite your protests that you’re perfectly fine to work. You need the work, something to distract you from the hurricane of emotions inside of you. You actually pleaded with the man, but he was firm.

I want you to reflect, Zarios instructed you. You’ve lost someone dear to you, and none of us have answers. The best thing for your mind right now is rest and reflection.

You disagreed, but you couldn’t very well just ignore the Deacon. When your meeting ended and you’d trudged to the door, Zarios stopped you at the last second.

Consider, Zarios began, the possibility of promotion. Perhaps you’ve outgrown your duties as a Disciple.

The Deacon smiled warmly at your blank stare.

Just a thought. We can discuss it next week once you’ve thought it over.

Goodbye Starlight

The night was still as Leyraa sat up in her respiteblock, scratching down word after word onto a parchment. Her expression was... Off. It was cold and empty, devote of that usual bright and cheery smile that always dressed her cheeks. Her starlit demeaner seemed gone, replaced by a cold indifferent as she finished off the letter with a simple signature. She let out a breath and looked up at the ceiling that was decorated with little glow in the dark stars and planets. The House of Astros has been her home for as long as she could remember. The people in the House of Astros were like family to her. Family she THOUGHT she could trust. Although that all changed one night when she was looking out into the inky blackness of the night, stars and planets mingled with one another much like the trolls in the house did. But unlike the world outside, Leyraa had been lied. Her whole life, or well, what she could only assume her was her whole life, had been nothing but one big fabrication. A way to keep her from leaving.... A way to keep her from going back into the outside world. But no more, she had told herself. No more. She rolled up the letter then adjusted her cloak, silently walking out of her room. The house, a place that once felt warm and homely, now felt empty and foreign, as if Leyraa was now some kind of prisoner trapped within the confines of an enemy ship. She felt like a caged animal that's been waiting FAR too long to break out. Her steps, silent as they were quick, lead her to the area of respiteblocks where the Disciples of the House took residence. She went by door after door after door until she came upon one she could never get out of her head. The door to the room of Safron Zergaz, the Disciple that she has always worked with. Someone she trusted above all else. His image was now tainted to her. She knew he knew. She gripped the letter before unrolling it, folding it gently and slipping it under the door silently. She continued down the hallway after that, leaving her final goodbye to someone she once saw as family. He was nothing more than a stranger now, and Leyraa needed to remember that. He wasn't her friend, he was her foe. Someone she... She couldn't trust anymore. Not after the realization that he'd been willingly withholding her past from her. Who she truly was. Leyraa knew the house like the back of her own hand. All of the hallways, the rooms and the secret passageways. She stalked down one of them as quietly as she could, her cloak gently waving behind her as she did so. The escape pod room. A room that was typically off-limits unless needed for an emergency. Leyraa pulled out a keycard from her back pocket, something she had managed to steal from a much higher up troll in the house. She slipped it through the card reader then walked into the room, heading towards the nearest pod. She didn't know what awaited her when she returned to Alternia. All that she knew that whatever life she'd spend out there would hopefully be better than being lied to and manipulated by a group of trolls she thought were her family. That she thought were her friends. She took a deep breath and stepped into the pod, situating herself into the single seat as the door closed itself. She looked into the dark escape pod room, her voice coming out low and haunting as the pod began the ejection process. "੪ Goodbye, starlight. ੪"
