The effects will not be late on Greek shelves, while the most expensive are Greek products on the US shelves.
One of the most powerful appearances on American shelves has Greek olives, with Greece being the main country of origin for imported olives in the US. It is noteworthy that in 2024 45,000 tonnes of olive oil were allocated to the US market, according to data from the Hellenic Association of Greek Industries.
