**Greek Imports of Phosphoric Acid Surge Amidst Fertilizer Demand**
**Greece Sees Increase in Phosphoric Acid Imports Ahead of Harvest Season**
• Greece’s imports of diphosphorus pentaoxide and phosphoric acid rose by 12% year-on-year to 10,500 metric tons in June.
• The increase is attributed to higher demand for fertilizers ahead of the country’s harvest season, which typically peaks between July and September.
• Prices of phosphoric acid have remained relatively stable over the past quarter, despite a slight rise in global prices due to supply chain disruptions.
Greece’s agricultural sector is expected to benefit from the increased imports, as farmers prepare for the upcoming harvest. The country’s reliance on imported fertilizers has been a long-standing issue, but rising domestic production is slowly addressing this concern.
