**Greek Import Volumes Rise Amid European Spirits Demand**
**Undenatured Ethanol Imports Surge as Summer Demand Takes Hold**
• Greek imports of undenatured ethanol (HS Code 2207) increased by 12% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The rise is attributed to higher demand from European spirits manufacturers, particularly in Germany and Italy.
• Prices for undenatured ethanol have remained relatively stable, averaging €650 per metric ton.
Greek import volumes of undenatured ethanol (HS Code 2207) continued their upward trend in June as the summer season boosted demand from European spirits manufacturers. Stronger-than-expected exports from major producers such as Ireland and France likely contributed to the increase. As a result, Greek companies are stocking up on the essential ingredient for spirits production, potentially affecting local market dynamics in the coming months.
