Emmanuel Macron announced on Saturday the introduction of "European floor prices" for farmers. The proposal has been criticized by part of the opposition, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Bruno Retailleau.

But experts say the floor price is above all a boon for large farmers, especially if it is estimated at the average cost of small farms. For Philippe Goetzmann, mass distribution expert, “a floor price guarantees a price, a piece of paper”
