Market Overview

The animal feed market in France refers to the manufacturing, distribution and consumption of manufactured feed products that are intended to support the nutrition, health, and productivity of livestock within the food and agricultural sectors of France. The animal feed market includes compound feed, additives and premixes that conform to the country's regulatory requirements and sustainability objectives and are sold through cooperatives, commercial farm sales, and export to international markets. Additionally, to support farmers who produce feed locally, the government has also established financial assistance programs. The government provides subsidies for the cost of feed and grants to farmers who purchase equipment that will enable them to produce animal feed of a higher caliber. Farmers who take part in these programs must follow stringent guidelines established by the government regarding sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods. This has lessened the environmental impact of producing animal feed while also helping to support small-scale farmers and create jobs.
