**Greek Imports of Yeast Rise Amid Brewing Demand**
**Greece Sees Increase in Yeast Imports as Local Industry Expands**
• Greek imports of yeast rose 12.5% year-over-year to 1,200 tonnes in June.
• The increase coincides with growing demand from the country’s expanding brewing sector.
• Prices for imported yeast averaged €2,500 per tonne in June, up 8.5% from a year ago.
Greek imports of yeast have surged this year as the country’s brewing industry continues to expand.
