French grilled chicken? Either way, this sector is a stark symbol of the erosion of our food autonomy. France, a major poultry-producing country, has fallen so far behind since the early 2000s that it now has to buy half its consumption abroad, up from 20% twenty years ago. This amounts to more than 1.5 billion euros of imports every year.
The rest after this announcement
However, the French have never eaten so much chicken: consumption has doubled in twenty years, reaching 22.5 kg per capita in 2022, behind pork and now ahead of beef. But consumption patterns have changed. No more whole chicken, the famous Sunday chicken, a French-made specialty that often bears a seal of quality. France found itself uncompetitive in the most in-demand segment: chicken fillet consumed in the home catering industry.
