Greek importers have been experiencing a slight downturn in their purchases of seeds, fruit, and spores, with a 2% year-to-date decline. The decrease is largely attributed to seasonal factors, as consumers tend to buy less fresh produce during the summer months when local fruits and vegetables are abundant. Market analysts expect this trend to continue until the end of the quarter, after which demand is likely to surge ahead of the fall harvest.
