Efficient use of unique plant resources

Production of essential oils and hydrosols through advanced processing of saffron has been established in Bakhmal district of Jizzakh region. This initiative creates new opportunities to use this unique plant resource more efficiently and increase its economic value.

A new technology has been developed to extract essential oil and hydrosol from saffron petals for use in the perfume and cosmetics industries.

BMB Holding, a company engaged in saffron cultivation, has introduced modern technologies that make it possible to process not only the flower’s stigmas but also its petals.

This process is particularly important as it enables efficient processing of raw materials while making maximum use of all their components.

Processing saffron petals helps increase the added value of the company’s products. Most importantly, this approach creates favorable conditions to make fuller use of the potential of local raw materials, diversify the product range, and enter new markets.
