Nice improve in quantity and worth in fruit and vegetable imports in 2024
If something scares right-thinking economists, it’s the fast decline within the competitiveness of the Greek economic system, as mirrored within the commerce deficit and present account steadiness. Inside 2024, a brand new opening of the hole between imports and exports is recorded. Such is the issue that can trigger cataclysmic developments if it isn’t solved and, as will be seen from the related indicators, the Mitsotakis authorities is doing every little thing potential to exacerbate the issue.
It’s attribute that ELSTAT recorded a leap of 35% within the commerce steadiness deficit (it captures the distinction between a rustic’s merchandise exports and its corresponding imports) for final April. In absolute numbers, from the two.22 billion euro deficit in April 2023, a deficit of three billion euro was recorded this April.

Thyma Mitsotakis
If our nation is happy with something in relation to exports, it’s major manufacturing, specifically vegetables and fruit. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, nevertheless, achieved the miracle of destruction on this space as effectively. On the one hand, the gross revenue in gas and electrical energy prices along with the rise within the costs of fertilizers and animal feed improve the price of manufacturing. Then again, the middlemen have been left unchecked and with coordinated practices – nobody controls them – they crush the costs from the producers. Floods and fires have additionally destroyed the productive cloth since nobody has been concerned in firefighting for 5 years, whereas anti-flood works are rudimentary and solely at fiesta degree. Consequence; In keeping with information from the Incofruit-Hellas Affiliation of Greek Fruit and Vegetable Exporting, Buying and selling and Juice Corporations, there’s a 12.49% improve in fruit and vegetable imports within the first half of 2024. In absolute numbers, within the first half of 2024 imports have been measured in 420,525 tons in comparison with 373,845 tons within the corresponding interval of 2023.
What causes big questions is that not solely are big portions of vegetables and fruit that Greece additionally produces imported, however that these imports report an enormous improve in each amount and worth.
The next imports are typical for this: • 200,752 tons of potatoes in comparison with 169,568 tons within the first half of 2023 (+18.39%)
• 2,266 tons of tomatoes in comparison with 2,365 tons within the first six months of 2023 (-4.19%)
• 12,247 tons of apples in comparison with 4,754 tons within the first half of final 12 months (+157.61%)
• 1,669 tonnes of kiwifruit in comparison with 574 tonnes within the first six months of 2023, up 190.77%
• 2,562 tons of lemons/glycolemon in comparison with 2,315 tons within the first half of 2023 (+10.67%). Then again, there is a rise of round 6% in exports – it means a deficit of 6.69% between imports and exports of recent vegetables and fruit – however it’s only because of accuracy. In keeping with the information of ELSTAT for the primary quarter of this 12 months, a 15% drop in Greek exports in quantity is recorded. Particularly, 458,557 tons of Greek vegetables and fruit have been exported in comparison with 539,671 tons within the corresponding interval of 2023. It’s turning into apparent that the Greek major manufacturing is being crushed by the burden of the cartelization that Mr. Mitsotakis is making an attempt within the title of the massive schemes. However that is how the Greek produced wealth is transferred overseas. That is how we’re making ready for the following chapter of the Greek economic system.
