Greece: Cotton and Products Annual

Difficult growing conditions and a contracting domestic industry continue to pressure Greek cotton farmers and further its reliance on government subsidies for survival. Greece’s MY 2025/26 cotton production is forecast at 1.02 million bales, down 5.5 percent from the previous season due to lower planting. Despite lower global demand, Greece remains a major cotton exporter and was ranked 6th largest global exporter after Brazil, the United States, Australia, India, and Turkey in 2024. With a declining domestic spinning industry, Greek farmers and ginners will continue to seek foreign market destinations to generate sales.
