Arnaud Rousseau takes up the idea of ”name and shame” issued by the government, against manufacturers who would inflate their margins.
Like the government, the new boss of the FNSEA is in favor of “name and shameagainst the less supportive industrialists. In an interview given to Parisian and published this Sunday, Arnaud Rousseau calls for the names of large industrial companies that are surfing on rising prices to inflate their margins. “If there are inflation profiteers, let Bruno Le Maire name them. If there’s evidence, let’s stop the threats and name them“, Claims the president of the Avril group (Lesieur, Puget, Isio 4…), elected at the head of the main agricultural union a month ago, calling for “designate those who abuse».
While the government has been putting pressure on agri-food manufacturers for several weeks to reopen trade negotiations with distributors, in a context of falling market prices for certain raw materials, threats have intensified this week. If nothing happens in the next few weeks, “on fera du “name and shame” we will publicly quote the brands that do not want to negotiate downwards and I am not sure that [leur] advertise“Warned the Minister Delegate responsible in particular for Trade Olivia Grégoire on Wednesday on RTL.

Meeting in Bercy with industrialists on Wednesday
Au Parisian, Arnaud Rousseau also showed himself in favor of another tool that the executive intends to use to twist the arm of industrialists. “Name and shame and a new study on the margins of the General Inspectorate of Finance are two tools that everyone can consult“, declared the successor of Christiane Lambert. In an interview at the Tribune published this week, Bruno Le Maire indeed reported having “asked the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) to update their study on the margins of distributors and large manufacturers“. The first edition of this study, sent to the executive last November, concluded that there was noprofiteers of inflation in food“, had reported at the time the Minister of the Economy.
Bruno Le Maire, who also waved the tax threat to recover possible “undue margins“, must receive again the industrialists Wednesday in Bercy, after having brought together the representatives of the large distribution Thursday. Always with the same objective in mind: to force them to reopen discussions on prices with distributors, in order to deflate the labels on the shelves.
The discussions at Bercy promise in any case to be tense. On Franceinfo Thursday, the president of the National Association of Food Industries (Ania) Jean-Philippe André did not hide his irritation at the accusation of “inflation profiteers». «It’s a little music that becomes quite unbearable“, he confided. On the threat to give the names of non-cooperative industrialists,I’m not sure that doing “name and shame” brings anything and improves public debate“, he had judged on BFM Business the day before.
