**Greece Sees Slight Increase in Lead Ore Imports**
**Greek Mining Industry Seeks to Diversify Amid Supply Chain Disruptions**
* Greece’s lead ore imports rose by 4.2% year-over-year in June, totaling 5,100 metric tons.
* The increase can be attributed to the country’s efforts to diversify its mining industry and reduce dependence on domestic production.
* Prices for lead ores remain stable due to a balanced supply-demand equation.
Greece’s lead ore imports saw a marginal uptick in June, driven by the country’s push to expand its mining sector. As global supply chain disruptions persist, Greece aims to capitalize on its strategic location and favorable trade agreements to boost imports of essential commodities like lead ores. The stability in prices suggests that demand from domestic industries remains robust, underscoring the importance of lead ore supplies for Greece’s manufacturing base.
