FOR TWO WEEKENDS PRODUCERS CAN SET UP STALLS IN SUPERMARKET CAR PARKS FRUIT and veg stalls can directly challenge supermarkets with a temporary law allowing them to set up in car parks
across France over the next two weekends. A good harvest has produced an abundance of melons, peaches, nectarines, apricots, tomatoes, artichokes and courgettes. Known as the ventes au
déballage they take place today and tomorrow and August 7-8 and allow producers to sell directly to the public. Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire said: "This is a temporary action
which we don't want to institutionalise year after year, but if it's necessary to do it more often this year, we will."
