The article highlights the significant challenges faced by French cooperatives in the agricultural sector, particularly in cereals, following a poor harvest and declining yields due to weather conditions and global warming. The situation has led to a substantial drop in production, from last year's figures, causing a financial strain with an estimated loss of €300 million in margin for the cooperatives. Furthermore, rising costs, including inflation, transportation, energy, and payroll, have further diminished margins, threatening the financial stability of these cooperatives. In response, the sector seeks support from the government, including an extension of the state guarantee for oilseeds and the removal of the separation of sales and advice, a policy believed to diminish the competitiveness of cooperatives.
