The cost of a traditional Easter meal in Greece has surged this year, with lamb prices rising by up to 30%, as households face the highest costs for holiday food in over a decade. Inflationary pressure, livestock shortages, and increased export demand contribute to the higher prices, forcing many consumers to adjust their plans and cut costs ahead of the holiday. Greece continues to grapple with persistent inflation, particularly affecting essential household goods. In the food and non-alcoholic beverages category, prices are rising at an annual rate of around 5.3%, according to To Vima. While some staple products, such as olive oil and sugar, saw a slight easing in prices, the significant increase in meat and fresh produce continues to drive overall costs higher. Energy prices are also a key factor, raising production costs across the supply chain.
