Food industry and agriculture

Eating well, today and tomorrow

Agriculture feeds Bretagne. From farm to fork, the food sector champions quality, diversity and health, thus providing valued produce and restoring consumer trust.

 

Bretagne is known for its rich and varied agriculture: meats, eggs and dairy products, from Breton livestock farmers, are exported all over the world. The region also provides a variety of high quality fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, strawberries, peas and green beans. With a large maritime area, its bustling ports ensure a strong fishing economy, which represents over 50% of French maritime fishing. These large primary areas of business provide the food industry with quality raw materials and have contributed to creating a powerful, dynamic and economic force.
