**Greek Imports of Fruit Juices Rise Amid Summer Demand**
**Fruit juice imports surge as Greek consumers boost demand for refreshing beverages**
• Greece’s imports of fruit juices surged 12% in May year-over-year, driven by increased demand during the summer months.
• The country imported over 10 million liters of fruit and nut juices, including grape must and coconut water, from various countries, led by Italy, Spain, and Portugal.
• Prices for some key products, like orange juice, rose slightly due to supply constraints in major exporting nations.
Greek consumers’ preference for refreshing beverages has driven a surge in imports of fruit juices. As the country enters its peak summer season, demand for cold drinks is expected to continue rising. However, supply chain disruptions and production issues in major exporting countries may lead to price volatility in the coming months.
