Marketing of agricultural products - Agricultural census 2010
Primeur N° 275
One out of five producers sells through a short marketing circuit
In 2010, 21% of farmers sold through a short marketing circuit. Vegetable and honey producers are the most involved in this type of retailing. Farmers from south-east France and the overseas departments particularly sell in this way. The farms are usually smaller and heavier on labour. Direct sale from the farm is the main marketing method.
