**Greece Sees Slight Increase in Petroleum Jelly Imports**
**Market Trends Favor EU Supplies Amid Supply Chain Constraints**
Here are the key facts about Greece’s imports of petroleum jelly:
• Total imports rose 3.1% year-on-year to 12,500 tonnes in June.
• The majority came from European Union countries, particularly Germany and Italy.
• Prices for paraffin wax and petroleum jelly have remained stable over the past quarter.
Greece’s petroleum jelly imports are expected to remain steady in the coming months as supply chain constraints continue to plague major producers. This has led to increased demand for EU supplies, where logistics disruptions have been less severe. The stable prices of paraffin wax and petroleum jelly may also encourage further demand from domestic manufacturers.
