It just so happens that I was listening to a speach from the Tasmanian Premier yesterday and he was spruiking their growing saffron industry. I will see if there is anymore I can find out however you will probably find it as quickly (more likely faster-being a rocket scientist and all) as me as this is all the info I have at the moment.
If you come to a dead end and would like me to find out anymore for you please let me know.

Subject: [pbs] Southern Hemisphere Saffron Crocus bulb sources
Weird request (but there is so much knowledge residing in this group,
I told my friend I'd try asking):
Does anyone out there know of commercial sources of Saffron Crocus
bulbs (Crocus sativus) that are in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia,
South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, etc.)? A friend of mine
wants to purchase somewhere between 1000 and 10,000 bulbs to plant at
a farm in the southern hemisphere and doesn't want to have to attempt
switching hemispheres. (Unless the wholesale price of Dutch bulbs is
so cheap that, even with losses, it would still be cheaper to do that
than buy them from a southern hemisphere source.)
Thanks,
