Clothing export totaled 319 million euros in terms of value, down from 340 million euros in the same period last year, while textile exports totaled 295 million euros in value up from 260 million euros in the corresponding period last year.

In total, the value of Greek exports of clothing/textiles (including primary production of cotton) totaled 693 million euros in the January-July period, down 0.8 pct from the same period in 2015.
