Without looking to foreign resources, we could not satisfy more than 5% of the French demand for wild mushrooms. Purchasing wild mushrooms from abroad is therefore essential to meet consumer demand.
This also allows us to maintain more than 80 jobs in our production workshops in Saugues, in the Haute-Loire department. Our foreign supplies (Balkans, Carpathians, Turkey, Yunnan Province in China, Chile, North America, etc.) mean that we are not dependent on the climatic variations and annual harvests. What’s more, they allow us to source varieties of mushrooms with flavours and aromatic qualities that are often different from those that can be found in France.
