the French consume less fruit and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are shunned by the French with prices that have soared. In one year, vegetables increased by 9.8%, and fruits by 4.6%. For Rachelle, a carer, shopping is becoming more and more complicated, with prices that have skyrocketed on the markets. So how do you continue to eat fresh produce without breaking the bank? On a market in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) for example, on Mondays, a primeur sells its unsold weekend produce at low prices.

Anti-inflation basket

AT 800 km away, in the Strasbourg countryside, local vegetables, produced in greenhouses, are sold on site in stores. Sometimes more expensive products, unless you buy badly. In addition to buying in quantity, it is preferable to favor local and seasonal products. Finally, low prices at the supermarket, is that possible? The government plans to launch an anti-inflation basket, with around fifty products, including five fruits and vegetables. It should be available in early March.
