According to Vincent Elegoet of Saveurs du Bout du Monde, basic carrots are rare on the French market. It’s the second most consumed vegetable in France, and the shortage has caused a considerable price increase.
The carrots offered by Vincent, Chantenay carrots, are in great demand: "they are small carrots, round and very tasty. This product is of great interest to consumers."
Saveurs du Bout du Monde offers carrots of all colours. "We have white, orange, and purple. Different coloured carrots are gaining popularity, because they are known among consumers now. Unlike a few years ago, they are produced everywhere."
Vincent considers the arrival of coloured carrots on the market a very positive development. "They have boosted the carrot market and have made demand more dynamic. This is always interesting."
Saveurs du Bout du Monde is located in Brittany, a suitable region for the cultivation of cauliflower. Just as with the carrots, the cauliflower range is quite colourful as well. The company offers them in green, orange and purple.
Saveurs du Bout du Monde is always looking for niche products because "small products work well. We have a very wide range of products with, at the moment, different varieties of radish, chervil, and eggplant."
