Tied with
"In 1858, with the value of agricultural produce passing through Izmir having grown two a half times since 1832 – and taking into account that 1858 was not a good year for the European economy – the share of cotton at eight percent tied with silk; it was surpassed by opium’s share at ten percent, raisins’ share at 12 percent with alizarin topping the list at 38 percent." (Ebru Boyar and Kate Fleet (eds), Making a Living in Ottoman Anatolia)
