**Greek Beer Producers See Boost in Imported Malts**
**Supply Chain Disruptions Ease, Favouring Greek Beverage Industry**
• Imports of malted barley into Greece rose by 15% year-over-year in June.
• The increase coincided with a rebound in global beer production following supply chain disruptions.
• Average prices for imported malts decreased by 8% compared to the same period last year.
Greece’s beer industry has benefited from improved global supply chains, leading to increased imports of malted barley. According to data, June marked a significant rise in arrivals, driven by recovering demand from domestic breweries. Lower average prices also support local producers, who are likely to take advantage of the more favourable market conditions.
