克什米尔农民采摘藏红花

2009年11月4日，在克什米尔斯利那加南部20公里（13英里）的 Pampore，农民们正在采摘藏红花。

克什米尔开始种植藏红花，开始于16世纪的莫卧儿王朝。克什米尔的藏红花种植面积估计有17000公顷，5～6月播种，秋天采摘收获藏红花，采摘大约17万朵鲜花才能获得一公斤（2.2磅）干燥的藏红花。然而，农民们已经开始关注，随着不断变化的气候影响，在过去的16年里藏红花的产量逐年下降，产量已经减少了70%至75%。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

英语原文：

Kashmiri villagers collect saffron flowers from a field at Pampore, 20 km(13 miles) south of Srinagar, November 4, 2009. Saffron has been grown in Kashmir since the Mughal period, which began in the 16th century. In highly drained clay-loam soil, the saffron crop is sown on an estimated 17,000 hectares of land in Kashmir in the months of May and June and the flowers are harvested at the onset of autumn. It takes some 170,000 flowers to get a kilogram (2.2 lbs) of the precious spice.Kashmiri saffron is considered the world’s best saffron for its distinctive long, flat and silky threads with a dark red colour, extraordinary aroma, powerful colouring and flavouring capabilities. However, saffron farmers have become concerned at the falling yield of the saffron crop year after year with the changing climatic conditions responsible for a 70 to 75 percent decrease in the yield for the last 16 years.
