What is happening

What the sources report

Mastic production on Chios is estimated to reach 200 to 220 tonnes in 2026, with the first estimates from the Union of Chios Mastic Producers (EMX) pointing to an increase in the harvest.[1]

The president of the Union, Giorgos Toumpos, told the Athens-Macedonian News Agency that the weather conditions of last winter and this summer were particularly favourable for cultivation.[2]

About 80% of annual production is exported to more than 60 countries.[1]

According to Mr Toumpos, about 45% of EMX's total sales relate to pharmaceutical companies, which use mastic in medicinal preparations and food supplements.[1]

Chios Mastic, Chios Mastic oil and Chios Mastic chewing gum have been included among PDO products since 1997.[2]
