In Denizli, Turkey, which accounts for 95% of the country's thyme production, thyme producers are facing challenges due to low prices and lack of compensation for their labor. The current price of thyme is between 12 TL and 15 TL, down from last year's 13 TL to 15 TL, leading some producers to abandon thyme production and seek other crops. The Chamber of Agriculture is expressing disappointment with the market and lack of support, highlighting the financial losses producers have incurred and the lack of licensed warehousing and the absence of a Thyme Exchange in Denizli as contributing factors.
