**Greek Imports of Wooden Casks and Barrels Surge in Q2**
**Greece’s timber market sees uptick in demand, driven by wine industry expansion**
• Greek imports of wooden casks and barrels rose 12% year-on-year in the second quarter, with volumes totaling 15,600 units.
• The increase is attributed to a growing demand from local wine producers, who are expanding their production capacity ahead of the peak summer season.
• Prices for imported wooden casks and barrels have remained steady at around €100 per unit, as suppliers struggle to meet the surge in demand.
