摘要：Medicinal and aromatic plants contribute to the economy by maintaining the health of tl1e 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-eco- nomic structure, and the satisfaction of farmers. In the study, 94 surveys were carried out with medici- nal and aromatic plant collectors ﬁ'om nature by the methods of full count and face to face interview. Ac- cording to the research results, 70.21 % of the fann- ers 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“. Lam-‘us nobilis, Thymus vulgaris L., Rims coriaria L. , Rosmarinus oﬂicinal is, Salvia oﬁicinalis 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 prob- lems, the prices of medicinal and aromatic plants, ex- pectations about the ﬁiture 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 fro1n MAPS’ sale was 2,290 USD. Inadequate cultivation and marketing of the MAPS sector were found as the big- gest problems. Therefore, it is crucial to gather MAPS farmers in an organization to solve the sec- tor’s problems.
