**Greek Imports of Cellulose and Derivatives Rise Amidst Seasonal Demand**
**Greece’s cellulose imports surge as paper production rebounds**
* Greek imports of cellulose and derivatives rose 15% to 30,000 metric tons in June from the previous month.
* The increase is attributed to higher demand for packaging materials during the summer season when consumer goods sales peak.
* Prices of cellulose have stabilized at $1,200 per ton after a brief spike due to supply chain disruptions earlier this year.
Greece’s paper production has shown signs of recovery in recent months, driven by increased demand from the country’s thriving e-commerce sector. As a result, imports of cellulose and derivatives have surged, with June imports marking a significant increase over previous months. The upward trend is expected to continue through the summer as consumer spending remains strong.
