**Greek Imports of Cereal Groats Rise Amidst Seasonal Demand**
**Increased demand for animal feed boosts imports in Q2**
• Greek imports of cereal groats, meal and pellets surged 12.5% year-over-year to 35,000 tons in the second quarter.
• This growth can be attributed to increased demand from the country’s animal feed industry, driven by seasonal factors and rising livestock production.
• Prices for imported cereal groats have remained stable at around 280 euros per ton, despite global market fluctuations.
Greek imports of cereal groats, meal and pellets picked up in Q2 as the country’s animal feed sector benefited from higher demand. With temperatures soaring, farmers are replenishing stocks to meet the needs of their livestock, driving imports from abroad. As a result, Greek importers have turned to international markets to secure supplies, helping to boost trade volumes.
