**Greece Sees Surge in Imports of Prepared Culture Media**
**Demand for Biotech Supplies Drives Growth Amid Seasonal Fluctuations**
• Greek imports of prepared culture media rose by 12% year-over-year to $4.5 million in June.
• This increase reflects growing demand from the country’s biotechnology sector, which has been expanding amid government incentives and EU funding.
• Prices for these specialized reagents remained stable at an average of $1.80 per kilogram due to steady supply chains.
Greece’s imports of prepared culture media have rebounded in recent months as local biotech firms step up production to meet growing demand for COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.
