dc.description.abstractMedicinal and aromatic plants contribute to the economy by maintaining the health of the population that sustains the economy, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate collection and development opportunities of medicinal and aromatic plants, the socio-economic structure, and the satisfaction of farmers. In the study, 94 surveys were carried out with medicinal and aromatic plant collectors from nature by the methods of full count and face to face interview. According to the research results, 70.21 % of the farmers had graduated from primary school, and 2.13 % had graduated from universities. The average duration of experience with MAPs was 9.90 years, and the average farmer's age was 46.8 years old. The collecting land area average was 1.25 ha(-1). Laurus nobilis, Thymus vulgaris L., Rhus coriaria L., Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis L., Vacinium myrtillus were the plants most collected from nature. The factors affecting the satisfaction of farmers were determined, including the age of the enterprise owner, marketing problems, labor problems, the prices of medicinal and aromatic plants, expectations about the future of MAPs, the percentage of medicinal and aromatic plants in total income, transportation cost, and the gradual decrease of the amount of harvested MAPs every year. Among farmers, the proportion of satisfaction was 59.4 %. The average annual income of farmers from MAPs' sale was 2,290 USD. Inadequate cultivation and marketing of the MAPs sector were found as the biggest problems. Therefore, it is crucial to gather MAPs farmers in an organization to solve the sector's problems.en_US
