**Greek Imports of Casein and Derivatives Surge in June**
**Greek imports of casein derivatives rise amid increased demand from dairy industry**
• Greek imports of casein and casein derivatives rose by 15% in June year-over-year to 4,500 tonnes.
• The surge in imports is attributed to increased demand from the country’s dairy processing sector, driven by growing consumption of milk-based products.
• Prices for casein derivatives have remained relatively stable this quarter, influenced by steady global supply chains and seasonal factors.
Greek importers took advantage of favorable prices and strengthened their positions in the market, contributing to a 15% year-over-year increase in June. Strong demand from dairy processors continues to drive imports, with no signs of slowing down despite some volatility in global commodity markets. As Greece’s economy remains resilient, dairy industry growth is expected to sustain its momentum into the second half of the year.
