| Özet |
| Humans have utilized the natural resources in their surroundings to meet their nutritional needs and develop treatments for health issues. Throughout history, plants have served not only as sources of food and medicine but also as cultural, spiritual, and economic assets. Culturing medicinal and aromatic plants offers significant opportunities as an alternative production method, particularly in rural areas. This study examines the economic viability of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Miller.) cultivation, which has gained popularity among forest villagers in Turkey, who belong to the lowest income group in the country. The research was conducted in the Beştepeler region of Safranbolu district, Karabük province. The study employs the internal rate of return (IRR) as the economic analysis method. The primary data source consists of the revenues and expenditures associated with lavender production in Safranbolu. According to the results of the analysis, the IRR for one hectare of lavender cultivation is 24.12%. This rate corresponds to Turkey’s 2019 deposit interest rate, that is, it has a low rate of profitability. These findings suggest that lavender production could serve as an alternative source of income for forest villagers. |
