NPV vs planted area

• Price elasticity -0.7: every +1 % of global supply from this plan trims price ≈ 0.7 %
• Quota room = 0.20 % of global output minus current Turkish production (0.30 t of new supply in 2027); over-quota volume is modelled at 55 % distress price
• Iran ≈ 90 % of world output; corms multiply ×3 by year 3 — replant year 5
• Corm cycle: replant in year 5 — plan a 20 % nursery block each year to keep output flat

5.Separation · daily
Separate three stigmas within 4 h of picking (same-day); keep petals for anthocyanin
6.Drying · same day
Apply Oven 60 °C · 35 min (ISO fast-dry) to ≤ 12 % moisture; single layer on mesh trays
7.Curing · 60 d
Amber glass, < 20 °C, dark, 60 d before ISO 3632 assay
8.ISO 3632 assay · post-curing
