The government wants to present a new law by the summer to
“strengthen the Egalim system”
which should allow better remuneration for farmers within the framework of negotiations between distributors and agro-industrial suppliers, Gabriel Attal announced on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister indicated that a parliamentary mission was entrusted to deputies Alexis Izard (Renaissance) and Anne-Laure Babault (MoDem) and that the text of the law will be presented on the basis of their conclusions.
The term Egalim refers to the States General of Food, launched in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron to find a better distribution of income between players in the French food chain.
