LEADIN:
In Morocco, one of the world's biggest saffron producers, farmers are joining co-operatives to ensure they get a fair amount of their harvest's profit.
Saffron is a hugely expensive spice and can sell up to $5,000 dollars per kilogram for the highest grade.
STORYLINE:
A new day is breaking in Taliouine - a small Berber region between the Atlas mountains in Morocco.
Each year in November the fields here are blanketed with purple saffron crocuses.
Taliouine is one of the most important centres for saffron in Africa.  Morocco is the world's fourth-largest saffron producer with an output of 6.8 tons in 2018.  According to the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture, 90% of that was from the Taliouine region.
Making their way out of Ait Ouzaghan village and its mud-brick homes, women sing as they start to gather as many saffron crocuses as they can before the sun rises.
Though the women's bent backs ache and their hands are blistered by the morning cold, they sing and chat as they pick the flower that thrives in only select places on earth that have the correct balance of soil and climate.
The saffron plants bloom for only two weeks a year and the flowers, each containing three crimson stigmas, become useless if they blossom, putting pressure on the women to work quickly and steadily.
"We start by 5 am before the light.  We go to a different lands and collect saffron flowers for an hour or 2 then we go home to have breakfast, cook for the children and take care of the animals. Then the separation process begins.  We women gather in a circle to work together. We call this action Tuiza. We keep working working every day starting from 5am," says farmer,  Fatima Ait Hadouth.
Every step is done by hand, and if stigmas aren't picked out and dried within a few hours of harvesting, their quality drops drastically, making saffron one of the most laborious agricultural activities and giving it the nickname "red gold."
Tuiza in the Amazighi Berber language means "collective work". In Taliouine, the entire village comes together to help with the process of separating the red stigmas from the purple petals. Few crops can thrive in the arid soil of the Anti-Atlas, so the village depends solely on saffron to survive.
The global wholesale price of saffron ranges widely from between $1,000 to $5,000 USD per kilogram depending on quality and origin.
Here the spice sells for an average $3.5 USD a gram. Nationally Morocco exports two thirds of its production bringing in 7.5 million US dollars annually according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
But the harvesters see only a fraction of the money consumers spend for the spice and the weather can wreak havoc on their livelihood.
Before co-operatives were formed in the region, the women that work tirelessly to produce saffron saw little of the profits.
The Tamghart Cooperative, which focuses on helping women saffron farmers, was set up in 2015 and comprises of 30 people.  The women here divide the profits of the co-operative between themselves equally. Prior to this they were earning less than 3,000 Moroccan Dirham ($300 USD) in an entire season from this expensive and sought after spice. The women here now earn more than double that - around 7,000 Moroccan Dirham ($700USD) per season.
"We keep separating the red stigma until our eyes hurt. In the past we were suffering and sold it for a very small amount of money in our local market, but now we have the cooperative that helps us sell it with a good price," says co-operative beneficiary, Bia Tnier.
The Tamghart Cooperative is one of 130 similar set up in the area. The organisation supports the women, providing them with the equipment needed to process the saffron such as these dryers. It also helps them sell the saffron at a fair price inside and outside the country.
Head of Tamghart Cooperative, Rachida Baha says: "We call saffron the red gold. Why? Because it's the most expensive plant that is used as a spice. Why it so expensive? That starts from how you plant it. You must be careful and you plant it in a certain way, the second thing is there are no working hands. Most of the youth emigrate,  only women work in the fields. The 3rd thing is the saffron flower itself is very fragile. It needs tenderness and no one is as tender as a woman to deal with this flower."
