The article highlights that Mersin, a city in southern Turkey, is a major contributor to the country's rosemary production, accounting for 90% of the total. The production takes place over two years across 3,365 hectares within the forest management directorates of Tarsus, Erdemli, Gülnar, and Silifke. Despite this significant contribution, Turkey still imports rosemary, primarily from Morocco and Tunisia. The annual production in Mersin is approximately 200 tons, but demand exceeds this amount. Rosemary is a key medicinal and aromatic plant in the Mediterranean maquis vegetation found in the region.
