Organic, HVE, Label Rouge: French certifications explained and compared
Three different logics behind three common logos — the absence of synthetic inputs, overall environmental performance, superior quality. What each one really guarantees, and what none of the three covers.
The Registre Parcellaire Graphique (RPG): what France’s land parcel register is for and how to consult it
The RPG identifies every French agricultural parcel declared under the CAP. What it actually contains, where to consult it free of charge, and why it is becoming a useful reference well beyond the CAP declaration — EUDR, traceability, proof of origin.
Reducing food waste in French canteens: the little-known EGalim obligations
Mandatory assessment, donation agreement, a ban on making unsold food unfit for consumption: what France’s EGalim law actually requires against waste in collective catering, beyond good intentions.
Responding to a retailer’s specification without giving away your margin
What a central purchasing body is entitled to demand, what is negotiable, and what costs more to supply than to refuse. How to read a traceability/quality specification without simply submitting to it.
EUDR: the application timeline, and what has changed since 2023
30 December 2026, and 30 June 2027 under conditions. The EUDR has been postponed twice — and the second postponement also lightened the obligations: downstream operators no longer file a statement.
Integrating your till or ERP with a traceability tool: the integration pitfalls
Two systems that do not speak the same identifier language, a synchronisation that fails silently, double entry that persists despite the integration — the most frequent pitfalls, and how to avoid them before you sign.
Proof of origin: what makes a claim verifiable or not
Saying “origin France” and proving it are two different things. What turns a declaration into proof — signature, timestamp, a path that can be reconstructed — and the origin claims that do not survive the question “show me”.
Stacking labels: the real cost and return on investment for a producer
Each additional certification has a direct cost and an ongoing management cost, not just an image benefit. How to assess whether a new label brings in more than it costs, before committing.
Direct selling: what the rules require (labelling, weights, prices)
Market, farm, box scheme: labelling and price-display obligations do not disappear in direct selling. What is mandatory even without packaging, the mistakes that cost a fine, and what remains at the seller’s discretion.
Private vs public collective catering in France: what changes for a supplier
School canteen, hospital, company restaurant: France’s EGalim obligations do not apply the same way everywhere. What distinguishes a public contract from a private one, and where to look for each type of outlet.
Structuring your lot numbering: the foundation that makes everything else possible
A badly designed lot number breaks traceability before the first scan. What an identifier must encode, the pitfalls of numbering by date alone, and how to migrate without losing the history.
EUDR: filling in your due diligence statement (DDS), step by step
The plot GPS coordinates that pass, those that fail, how to structure a statement for several suppliers, and what the information system rejects most often — a step-by-step guide to the EUDR DDS.
