The results showed that the second most important barrier to international supply chain management, processing and packaging in Saffron industry could be limited the Saffron exports and international supply. According to this research’s findings it can be concluded that it is useful to allow foreign investors to invest in this sector in order to improve the efficiency of supply chains and to ease the introduction of modern supply chain technologies to Iranian saffron industry
