**Greek Imports of Dried Legume Flours Rise Amid Global Supply Shift**
**Greek food manufacturers increase imports of pea and bean flours from EU suppliers**
• Greek imports of flour, meal, and powder of dried leguminous vegetables rose 12% in June from a year ago, according to customs data.
• The increase reflects growing demand from the country’s food manufacturing sector, particularly bakeries and pasta producers seeking alternative protein sources.
• Prices for these products remain relatively stable despite supply chain disruptions caused by the Ukraine conflict.
Greek imports of dried legume flours are benefiting from rising demand in the country’s food industry, which is shifting towards more sustainable protein sources. EU suppliers have stepped up shipments to Greece amid global supply chain disruptions and high prices for traditional wheat flours. The trend is expected to continue through the summer months, driven by seasonal peaks in food production and consumption.
