**Greek Imports of Edible Animal By-Products See Slight Increase**
**Seasonal Demand for Meat Products Contributes to Growth in Imports**
• Greek imports of edible offal from the European Union rose by 4.8% in June, totaling 2,300 tonnes.
• The increase is attributed to higher demand for meat products during the summer months, when traditional barbecue events are more common.
• Prices for edible offal imported from other EU countries averaged €1,450 per tonne, a slight decrease of 3.5% compared to May.
Greece’s import growth in edible animal by-products is consistent with seasonal trends, as consumers tend to favor meat products during the summer period. The increase in demand has led to a corresponding rise in imports from EU countries, where prices have remained relatively stable despite a slight decline in recent months.
