**Greek Dried Fruits Imports See Slight Boost in Q2**
**Imports of dried fruits from major suppliers increase as demand picks up**
• Greek imports of dried fruits rose by 4% year-on-year to 5,300 tonnes in the second quarter.
• The increase was driven by higher demand for dates and apricots, with imports of these products rising by 6.2% and 3.8%, respectively.
• Prices for dried fruits remained steady, with an average import price of €1,500 per tonne.
Greek dried fruit imports have shown a modest recovery in the second quarter, driven by higher demand from the country’s food processing industry. The warmer weather in Q2 is also expected to boost consumer demand for dried fruits as a healthier snack option, potentially leading to further increases in imports over the coming months.
