**Greek Olive Oil Imports Rise Amid EU Supply Chain Disruptions**
**Greece’s olive oil imports surge in June as domestic production falters**
• Greek olive oil imports increased by 12% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The rise in imports is attributed to supply chain disruptions within the European Union, impacting domestic production in Greece.
• Prices for extra virgin olive oil rose by 8% in June due to strong demand and reduced supply.
Greek olive oil imports have seen a notable increase in recent months, driven by EU-wide supply chain issues affecting local producers. Domestic production in Greece has been impacted, with many farmers struggling to meet export commitments amid weather-related crop damage and logistical challenges. As a result, Greek importers are seeking alternative sources to meet demand, pushing up prices for extra virgin olive oil.
