Turkish bay leaf exports have increased by 30% in the first half of 2025, reaching $85 million, as new EU quality standards for medicinal plants took effect in January. The regulations require stricter controls on pesticide residues and authenticity certification, giving Turkish producers an advantage due to their existing quality protocols. Germany and France have emerged as the largest importers, accounting for 60% of total exports. The growth is also attributed to rising demand for natural remedies in post-pandemic healthcare. AgroHoby has invested in advanced testing facilities and blockchain traceability to meet these standards, ensuring product quality from harvest to export.
