* Greek imports of wood wool and flour rose by 15% in Q2 compared to the same period last year.
* The majority of imports came from Poland, with a total value of $3.5 million, accounting for 30% of Greece’s total wood wool and flour imports.
* The increased demand is attributed to ongoing construction projects in the country’s infrastructure sector, where wood-based materials are being used extensively.
Greece’s construction industry has been witnessing significant growth due to government investments in infrastructure development, leading to a surge in demand for wood wool and flour. Prices of these materials have stabilized at €450 per tonne, a 10% increase from Q1, reflecting the rising demand. The country’s imports are expected to remain elevated in the coming quarters as construction projects continue to progress.
