Earlier Report Observations

The market for semi-milled or wholly milled rice in Greece underwent significant shifts in volume between 2018 and 2024. After a stable start at 76.6 thousand tonnes, consumption entered a multi-year decline, dropping to 48.9 thousand tonnes by 2021.

This downward trajectory was abruptly reversed in 2022, when the market size surged to 81.9 thousand tonnes. However, this recovery was short-lived, as volume fell again to 50.5 thousand tonnes in 2023 before climbing to a series high of 83.7 thousand tonnes in 2024.

The market's pronounced volatility closely mirrored swings in domestic output, which varied from 83.6 thousand tonnes to 114.7 thousand tonnes, while changes in import and export volumes also contributed to the overall supply balance.
