Fresh produce prices across Crete are climbing sharply, with price increases ranging from 20% to 50% on vegetables and fruits due to war-related supply chain disruptions.

The surge reflects broader inflationary pressures stemming from international conflicts and their cascading impact on agricultural input costs, transportation, and logistics networks.
