Summary/Abstract: Lavender is one of the business cards of Bulgaria – a traditional production with a conquered brand for standard and quality. Bulgaria is one of the places in the world where it finds the most favourable soil and climatic conditions for growth and development. The fertile soils and the quality of Bulgarian varieties make it possible to expand its productive potential and arouse considerable interest in its cultivation. The great importance of this crop is due to its multifaceted application, but it is mainly cultivated for the production of essential oil. Its high productivity is combined with high quality lavender oil. In recent years, there has been a trend of increasing the area of lavender fields - 102 934 acres were harvested in 2018 and only 40 508 acres in 2003
