The Fruit and Vegetable Markets in the South-East.
The markets in the South-East originated in the second half of the 19th century. 40 to 45 % of the fruit and vegetables of the region are still traded in these markets. In spite of the development of new trading habits, farmers and merchants generally remain faithful to this ancient tradition. There are two types of market: the marchés d'intérêt national (MIN) and the satellite markets. The min have gained overwhelming influence at the expence of the satellite markets. Markets seem now to be a refuge for small and average sized indépendant producers who remain largely unorganized, whereas the more important farmers tend to prefer direct deliveries or to create groups of producers. But markets are true centres of exchange for fruit and vegetables: prices established there serve as a point of reference for all the other types of transaction. It is therefore regrettable that supply and demand are not better matched. Peasant behaviour has been strongly influenced by the daily market activity. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
