**Greek Imports of Rapeseed Seeds Surge Amid Supply Chain Disruptions**
**Rapeseed Demand Drives Greek Import Growth in Q2**
• Greece’s imports of rapeseed seeds (HS Code 1205) rose by 15% year-over-year to 40,000 metric tons in June.
• Strong demand from the country’s biodiesel industry and favorable prices contributed to the increase, despite global supply chain disruptions affecting other agricultural commodities.
• Prices for Greek rapeseed seed imports averaged around $350 per metric ton in Q2, up from $320 in the same period last year.
Greek importers of rapeseed seeds capitalized on rising demand and favorable market conditions in June. The country’s biodiesel sector drove growth, as producers sought to secure raw materials amid global supply chain challenges. While prices rose, they remain competitive compared to other European markets, supporting Greek imports.
