Context of the service

There is a significant risk in Martinique that the players in the collective catering sector will massively use imported products to achieve the objectives of the EGalim law.

To avoid this scenario and reconcile compliance with the legal framework and sustainable local development, it is necessary to better characterize demand (i.e. the needs of buyers of collective catering but also the propensity of consumers to eat local) and to initiate a transition at the level of local supply (i.e. producers and other actors in the agri-food sectors in Martinique).

This study, commissioned by the Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Forestry (DAAF) and financed by the Office for the Development of the Overseas Agricultural Economy (ODEADOM), aimed to: (i) identify the needs of collective catering in Martinique in terms of local and quality products; (ii) to initiate dialogue between local producers and buyers of collective catering; (iii) to develop tools that promote the connection of the actors involved in collective catering.

Services provided

- Creation of a database of collective catering actors in Martinique, then carrying out an online survey among these actors in order to identify their needs in terms of local and quality products;

- Drafting of a report presenting an analysis of the obstacles and levers for the local supply of Martinique's collective catering;
