Greek dairy exports are expected to reach 1.2 billion euros this year, as foreign demand for feta, greek yogurt and other dairy products pushes the country’s biggest producers to invest in new production capacity.

Cheese exports were worth 589 million euros in the first half of 2026, up from 538.4 million euros a year earlier, according to figures from the Panhellenic Exporters Association, an increase of roughly 9%. Yogurt has been a particularly strong performer, with the Netherlands being the third largest buyer of Greek yogurt.
