Vegetable industry in France - Statistics & Facts
Thanks to a temperate climate in its Northern regions, and a Mediterranean one in the south, French farmers are able to grow a variety of vegetables, across over 215,000 hectares of agricultural land. This continuously diverse and voluminous output has led France to establish itself as the third largest producer of fruit and vegetables in the European Union, behind Italy and Spain. The country is also among the largest producer of potatoes globally. This dynamic market relies on various official labels and quality checks, useful for officials and regular consumers alike.
