Rungis supports
local production
In a context of fluctuating consumption of fresh produce, Rungis International Market must assume its central role in all sectors. Its solid experience of upstream factors, understanding of supply systems and ability to adapt to the market gives it the wherewithal to intervene effectively at all stages of the food chain, from production to marketing and consumption.
The Market is a natural venue for promoting regional production. It also offers producers a tool to regulate surpluses while guaranteeing an outlet for niche products or any products usually excluded from the dominant distribution circuits for various reasons. The producers' floor is a symbol of this. This 2200 m² space, opened in 2004, groups 82 producers of fruit and vegetables from Ile-de-France, who can propose their offer directly. This offer complements that of wholesalers at the Market, focusing above all on highly seasonal, fresh produce
Ile-de-France producers of flowers and plants are also physically represented at the Market.
