Abstract

One of the important purposes of the program of IRI Social and economic development is to give priority to the agricultural division in order to development the non - Oil economy. The importance of agricultural sector regarding to foodstuffs supplying, occupation creating, exchange supplying and also meeting the needs of the other economic divisons and also its contribution to the GNP is Significant. Since' studying the products having comparative advantage will be necessary. In this research and among agricultural products, SAFFRON (Iran's Red Gold) was chosen Since it has unique position in the world as a commercial and valuable product with annual average production of 120-170 tons and export amount of mor than 80% of total produced stuff and we have deled with studying its exportation comparative advantage in IRAN and comparing it will man SAFFRON exporting countries. In order to investigate in this field, at first we recognized the SAFFRON exporting countries, then we collected the statistics related to the above mentioned product's comparative advantage determination that included to the total value of IRAN's SAFFRON exportation, total value of goods and services exportation in IRAN and the world and total value of SAFFRON exportation of its exporting countries for the period of 1997-2001.In the next stage by using RCA (Revealed Comparative Advantage) pattern and RSCA (Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage) and also the related statistics and measures, IRAN' s Comparative advantage of SAFFRON exportation and also for other countries was calculated. The research results through RCA index show that in this period, IRAN that has great production and exportation distance from them, has high Comparative advantage compared with other Countries and is' Considered serious Competitor for them. Based on the SAFFRON exporting countries ranking and regarding to the higher Values of RCA index, IRAN that has values between 71.31 and 144.78 in SAFFRON exportation is first and Spain, Greece and India-have the next rankings, respectively and the remaining countries haven't had any comparative advantage during this period.In regard to the Symmetrical character of RCA index that is Considered one of its weaknesses and in order to eliminate this problem, we have used the method of calculating the RSCA that the obtained results are similar to the results obtained from RCA method and shows that IRAN during this period, with having positive RSCA value higher than 97%, has high comparative advantage, So we recommend providing facilities for increasing the production and exportation of this product.
