Geography

Isparta lies in the northernmost part of the Pamphylian basin, wedged between the continental Bey Dağları and Anatolian blocks. This area is known as the Isparta Angle. The Isparta Angle is a result of the Anatolian Plate's rotation from the early Paleocene to the early Pliocene, and is a very seismically active area as a result.

As of 2012, there are 178,162 hectares of agricultural land in Isparta province, of which 28.8% (37,184 ha) is used for fruit growing.

Isparta province accounts for 23.4% of all apple production in Turkey as of 2012. The majority of the province's apple production is done in three districts: Eğirdir, Gelendost, and Senirkent. Together, these three districts account for 73.2% of the province's apple production.
