How we ship your Crocus sativus bulbs

At Roco Saffron, quality doesn’t stop at cultivation—it continues all the way to your door. Whether you’re planting thousands or millions of Crocus sativus bulbs, we ensure that each shipment arrives fresh, healthy, and ready to grow.

We specialize in temperature-controlled saffron bulb shipping, using reefer containers, air freight, and expert logistics. And we handle all the necessary certifications and documentation—so you don’t have to.

Temperature-controlled shipping: why it matters

Crocus sativus bulbs are a living product. During transit, they must be protected from:

• Heat stress
• Humidity or moisture buildup
• Mold, rot, or physical damage

To protect their vitality, we ship all large volumes of saffron bulbs using refrigerated containers (reefers) or climate-controlled air freight. This helps maintain the optimal temperature range for the bulbs throughout transit.

Our shipping methods: tailored to your needs

Depending on your location, order size, and timing, we offer two efficient options:

Air freight (fast, climate-controlled)

For time-sensitive shipments, we use temperature-controlled air freight services. Bulbs are packed securely and shipped quickly—ideal for customers who need planting-ready bulbs on a tight timeline.

Sea freight via reefer containers (efficient, reliable)

For large-scale wholesale orders, we use refrigerated containers that maintain a stable environment during long journeys. This method is ideal for bulk saffron bulb shipments over long distances, and helps reduce shipping costs while protecting bulb quality.

Our global shipping experience

We’ve shipped Crocus sativus bulbs to farms and businesses worldwide—from Europe and the Middle East to North America, South Asia, and beyond. As part of our international saffron bulb shipping service, we provide all the necessary phytosanitary documentation required by your country’s agricultural and customs authorities.

Every shipment is accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate, issued by certified agricultural authorities. This document guarantees that:

This certificate is essential for smooth customs clearance and safe agricultural practices—and we take care of it for you.
