1 Synthèse du marché

1.1 INTRODUÇÃO

O mercado de batata inclui vários tipos de produção, tais como batatas de semente, batatas de conservação e batatas primor e batatas destinadas à indústria alimentar ou à indústria do amido. As principais oportunidades do mercado são, por conseguinte, as exportações, a indústria de produtos frescos, a indústria alimentar transformada e o consumo próprio dos agricultores.

O mercado da batata é um mercado importante na economia francesa, representando vários milhares de milhões de euros por ano. No entanto, o consumo de batatas em França diminuiu quase para metade desde 1960. A França é também o segundo maior jogador europeu na produção de batatas, beneficiando de terras férteis e de saber-fazer histórico.

A competição é muito forte entre o produtores e o cooperativas que processam o produto para o público em geral. Além disso, os grandes grupos industriais que comercializam produtos à base de batata representam uma procura significativa no mercado. Finalmente, a um nível mais marginal, os franceses continuam ligados ao auto-cultivo deste vegetal tradicional.

Os actores estão a tentar procurar o crescimento das exportações baseada na qualidade altamente reconhecida da indústria francesa. Os eventos geopolíticos têm, portanto, um impacto significativo nos volumes vendidos em cada ano. Assim, o embargo russo aos produtos europeus penalizou os exportadores franceses em 2014.

Os atores devem permanecer vigilantes diante de uma perigo para a saúde que existe neste mercado. Assim, os atores se esforçam para ser particularmente sensíveis à qualidade sanitária e fitossanitária das plantas e do território.
