**Greece Sees Surge in Imported Animal Feed Residues**
**Animal feed manufacturers boost imports ahead of peak demand season**
• The Greek Ministry of Development reported a 12% increase in imports of animal feed residues (HS Code 2302) from January to June compared to the same period last year.
• This uptick is attributed to rising demand for high-protein feeds in the run-up to the country’s peak livestock production season, typically between July and September.
• The European Union’s ongoing export restrictions on key feed ingredients such as soybeans have also driven up imports of alternative protein sources like animal feed residues.
