Lot-et-Garonne: what fruit and vegetable producers in the Egalim 2 law say that they are supposed to favor them<

Agriculture subscribers, Andiran, Lot-et-Garonne published le, updated

The main thing the Egalim 2 law intends to allow producers less badly to earn their living. Overview of the FDSEA union, the deputy Grégory Besson-Moreau was responsible for the after-sales service in Andiran on Monday.

Under the feet of the FDSEA union guests on Monday, a greenhouse as far as the eye can see.At Nathalie Binda and her brothers in Andiran, the tomato is queen.More than twenty employees, around thirty seasonal workers, nearly seven hectares, 3,800 tonnes each year for the Rougeline brand.No fruit on the plants at the end of November.It’s not the season yet.The season is rather in the after-sales service of a law applicable on January 1. It is the Egalim law "2", promulgated last October.This legislative text aims to set up tools to improve production prices, therefore farmers' income.

This law plans to generalize written contracts between the farmer and the company that will transform his products, taking into account production costs. It also plans to make "non -negotiable" between the industrialist and the distributor, the share of the price corresponding to the cost of agricultural raw materials. For Gilles Bertrandias, Managing Director of Rougeline, this “contractualization is useless because in the fruit and vegetable sector, production costs are really vary every day. The price of inputs, for the phytosanitary care of the plants, is quoted to explain the variation in production costs. This would therefore be "inapplicable" according to Philippe Valay. This former official past of the Pruneau d'Agen sector still says to deputies: Egalim 2, which succeeds Egalim 1 in 2018, "it remains preferable to set up a guaranteed minimum price" for producers. In 2005, another parliamentarian, the late Daniel Soulage had adopted in the Senate the complex principle of a "multiplier coefficient" but in the event of a cyclical crisis. only.

not in the field

Grégory Besson-Moreau, deputy for Aube, brought this text to the National Assembly. He was the guest of his colleague from the National Assembly Olivier Damaisin. To date, the fruit and vegetable sector is not in the scope of the law, such as viticulture. Faced with deputies, the first concerned issued reservations during a dialogue fed by their experiences. In the field of fruits and vegetables, the question was and remains the importation of European countries or from Morocco to France. By the light of his experience, Gilles Bertrandias still recalls some figures. Each year in France, half of the consumption of around 800,000 tonnes is imported. The rest is produced in France. One kilo of tomatoes in two is imported. And to ask a question: "How many consumers buy cherry tomatoes thinking that they are French when they are Moroccan? The question has survived the last twenty years.

"Reverse logic"

The deputy Besson-Moreau changed his function by putting on the VRP costume of his law.“The observation is clear, prices have been decreasing for ten years in mass distribution, which asks wholesalers to lower their prices.The adjustment variable is the farmers and we wanted to reverse this logic.The prices had to be built in the other direction.We know all of the costs imposed on farmers, but we don't know anything about the industrialist."According to the parliamentarian, on January 1" "there can be no sale without a contract.With prices repercussions."It is showing political courage to tell the consumer to agree to pay a few more cents to eat French.»»
