French Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

France's cultivation and use of medicinal plants are the result of a long local tradition. It is one of the few agricultural sectors in growth, with expanding markets, new usages and development opportunities.

The Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) category covers 53,000 hectares, where 120 species of MAPs are grown (300 including wildflowers). The production is spread accross the country. Every region, depending on its climate, is home to numerous species. The revenue generated by MAP production has increased by 85% in 25 years and the number of producers has risen by 25% in 10 years.

There are approximately 3,500 MAP farmers. The social impact is particularly significant in mountain regions where other crops would not be as profitable.

The growth in medicinal plant production can be explained by strong demand from national companies and widespread promotion of the plants. Despite the expansion of cultivated areas, demand from companies still outstrips supply.

Food Supplement manufacturing and safety

French excellence in the food supplements industry is world renowned. With one of the strictest regulation frameworks around, France guarantees a high quality of products for consumers and businesses alike.

All food supplements are thoroughly checked by the Directorate General for Competition policy, Consumer affaires and Fraud control (DGCCRF) before being put on the market, and their compliance is systematically inspected. The Nutrivigilance system also ensures that the safety of products can be monitored.
