Turkey, particularly the Denizli region, has emerged as a global leader in thyme production, contributing 89.6% to the world's supply with a production of 26,983 tons in 2023. This dominance is largely due to the agricultural initiatives by the Denizli Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry from 1994 to 2000. Denizli's 'Denizli Thyme' is pivotal in the spice, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical sectors, making a significant impact on Turkey's export economy. The country commands 70-75% of the international thyme trade, generating $55.2 million in exports to key markets such as the USA, Germany, and Italy.
