État des lieux de la collecte du blé biologique panifiable en France

Summary

The collect sector of the organic winter wheat is in deep evolution following a widening of the outlets, on arrival of new operators resulting from the conventional sector and with a strong fluctuation in prices. The technological quality of organic wheat is predicted, in a restrictive way, from the protein content of the grains.
The requirements of food safety and traceability lead to an increase in controls, beyond the constraints of certification. The consolidation of the wheat-flour-bread chain in France induces (I) a reinforcement of the partnerships amongst the actors, (II) the definition of new criteria to assess the quality adapted to organic production but also, (III) new investments from collectors to guarantee technological quality and safety requirement.
