**Greek Onion Imports Surge Amid Summer Season**
**Greek Produce Demand Drives Import Growth**
• Greek onion imports rose by 12.5% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The increase can be attributed to a rise in domestic demand for onions during the summer season, driven by increased consumption of Greek cuisine globally.
• Prices for imported onions have decreased by 8% due to strong supply chains from key suppliers.
A surge in imports of onions and other related produce is being observed in Greece this summer. The country’s agricultural sector has reported a rise in demand for onions, particularly among restaurants and food manufacturers catering to tourists. Lower prices for imported onions are also attributed to improved supply chain efficiency, which has helped offset higher transportation costs.
