1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
The tomato is part of the fruit and vegetable sector; if it is considered as a fruit on the botanical level, it will be considered in this study as a vegetable because of its place in the culinary sphere. There are nearly 480 varieties of tomatoes on French soil, classified by major categories: round, elongated, clustered...
The tomato has an essential place in the French diet and has become the most produced vegetable in France (it represents 15% of the volume of vegetable production) as well as the most consumed vegetable with nearly 13.6 kg per year and per household in 2021 according to Interfel.
A distinction is made between open-air and "off-ground" tomato production (80% of French production takes place in greenhouses). There are two main outlets in this market:
- the production dedicated to the consumption of fresh tomatoes
- the production dedicated to industrial use (processing, packaging...) which is not done in greenhouses and represents 22% of the volumes produced.
If the production of tomatoes is operated by a number of farmers often gathered in cooperatives, the processing remains the prerogative of large industrial groups and the distribution is dominated by the GSA (large food stores) even if many producers try to benefit from the development of short circuits.
The tomato, like other food commodities, is subject to the volatility of production prices and suffers from the increase in energy prices resulting from the situation in Ukraine.
