**Greek Oranges Surge into European Markets Amid Seasonal Demand**
**Import Volumes Rise as EU Citrus Supplies Dwindle**
• Greek orange imports to the EU increased by 12% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The surge is attributed to seasonal demand, with European consumers seeking fresher citrus fruits during summer months.
• Orange prices have stabilized at €0.45 per kilogram, despite a 5% rise in global production.
Greek oranges are capitalizing on EU supplies that have dwindled due to cooler weather conditions in key producing regions. As a result, importers are turning to Greece and other Mediterranean countries to meet seasonal demand for fresh citrus fruits. European consumers are expected to continue driving up imports of Greek oranges throughout the summer months, with prices remaining relatively stable amidst global market fluctuations.
