**Greek Demand for Horticultural Supplies Drives Peat Imports Growth**
• Greece’s imports of peat, including peat litter, rose by 15% year-over-year to 12,000 metric tons in May.
• The increase is attributed to the country’s horticulture sector, which experiences peak demand during the spring season for plant potting and gardening supplies.
• European suppliers such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania remain major sources of Greece’s peat imports, accounting for around 80% of total shipments.

As a result, European suppliers are meeting this increased demand, with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania remaining major sources of Greece’s peat imports. Prices for peat remain stable, influenced by global supply dynamics and seasonal fluctuations in demand.
