**Greek Hops Imports Surge Amid European Craft Beer Boom**
**Fresh demand for Greek hop cones boosts imports by 12% in Q2**
* Total value of Greek hop cone imports rose to €3.5 million, up from €3.1 million in the same period last year.
* The majority of these imports came from countries in the European Union, with Germany and France being the top suppliers.
* Rising demand from local breweries is driving this increase, as many are looking to incorporate high-quality hops into their craft beers.
Greek hop cone imports have seen a significant uptick in recent months due to strong demand from local craft breweries. As consumer interest in specialty beers continues to grow, Greek producers are capitalizing on the trend by increasing production and exports of high-quality hops. Supply chain disruptions and seasonal fluctuations have had minimal impact on these imports so far this year, with prices remaining relatively stable.
