Overview
- During a farm visit to Baigneaux on January 30, the prime minister said state-run catering should procure exclusively agricultural and food products from the European Union.
- He pledged to take back control of public food procurement and to reward or punish buyers based on compliance, with provisions to be written into upcoming laws.
- State collective catering represents roughly €900 million to €1 billion in annual purchases across services such as the armed forces, universities and hospitals.
- He voiced support for the Young Farmers’ ‘contrats d’avenir’ to diversify production, and franceinfo reports the government plans to generalise these contracts across holdings, a move described as developing.
- The Young Farmers union cautioned that 100% EU sourcing is not yet achievable due to shortages in eggs, poultry and some fruits, urging broader measures to strengthen food sovereignty.
