**Greek Imports of Fruit Preserves Rise Amid Summer Demand**
**Increased consumer demand for summer desserts drives import growth**
• Greek imports of jam and preserves rose 12% in June from the same month last year.
• The increase is attributed to a surge in demand for summer desserts, particularly ice cream toppings and sauces.
• Suppliers such as Turkey and Spain have benefited from the growing demand.
Greek imports of jams, fruit jellies, and marmalades increased significantly in June, driven by rising consumer demand for summer desserts. The warmer weather has led to an uptick in sales of frozen yogurt and ice cream, which are often topped with these sweet spreads. As a result, suppliers such as Turkey and Spain have seen their exports to Greece increase, taking advantage of the growing demand for these products.
