**Greek Yogurt Imports Rise as EU Demand Surges**
**Imports of Yogurt and Buttermilk from Major Suppliers Increase**
• Greek yogurt imports from the Netherlands rose by 12% in June year-over-year, driven by strong demand in the European Union.
• The country’s total yogurt imports increased by 8.5% in Q2, outpacing a 5% growth in domestic production.
• Prices for yogurt imports from Greece averaged €1.45 per kilogram in June, down 3% from May due to seasonal oversupply.
Greek yogurt imports continued their upward trend in June as the European Union’s demand for high-quality dairy products remains robust. EU-wide consumption of yogurt and buttermilk is expected to rise further as consumers seek healthier snack options. However, Greek producers are facing increased competition from cheaper imports, potentially impacting domestic prices and market share.
