The article highlights the efforts of the Fallot mustard factory in Beaune, France, to reduce dependence on imported mustard seeds by increasing domestic production. The article points out the challenges of this initiative, including the competition from cheaper Canadian seeds and a significant reduction in mustard production in both France and Canada due to adverse weather conditions. The reduction in production has led to concerns about the availability of mustard in supermarkets, especially with the unavailability of imports from Ukraine and Russia due to the ongoing conflict.
