Greece’s Fishmeal Imports Surge Amid Rising Demand for Aquaculture Feed
**Greek aquaculture sector drives uptick in imported fishmeal**
• Greek imports of flours, meals, and pellets of fish rose 12% year-over-year to 23,000 tons in June.
• The increase is attributed to higher demand from the country’s growing aquaculture industry, with producers seeking more protein-rich feed for their farmed fish.
• Prices for imported fishmeal have stabilized at around €350 per ton, following a brief spike earlier this year due to supply chain disruptions.
Greek imports of fishmeal and other aquatic products are expected to continue trending upward as the country’s aquaculture sector expands. Industry experts note that while prices remain relatively stable, fluctuations in global supply chains may impact future costs.
