Feta exports January to October 2025
What the numbers say and why the map is the most strategic visual in the story
The January to October picture is clear. Export value rose from EUR 687.9 million in 2024 to EUR 731.8 million in 2025, an uplift of EUR 43.9 million or 6.38%. This is a positive sign, but not an acceleration. It reads like a mature category that continues to deliver value, yet requires discipline as cost pressure remains elevated across milk, processing, energy and labor.
