**Greece Sees Slight Dip in Mushroom Imports Amid Seasonal Slowdown**
**Mushroom imports from key suppliers see minimal changes**
* Greek imports of prepared mushrooms from Spain rose 2% year-over-year to 1,500 metric tons in June.
* The country’s overall mushroom imports decreased by 3.5% to 12,300 metric tons during the same period, primarily due to seasonal demand fluctuations.
* Prices for preserved truffles remained stable at $15 per kilogram, influenced by steady domestic consumption and moderate global supply.
Greek importers of prepared mushrooms are adjusting to the summer slowdown in demand, which typically sees a 10-15% decline compared to peak spring months. The slight increase from Spain is attributed to the country’s strong export capacity during this period. The overall market remains stable with minimal price changes.
