Butter shortage in France threatens croissant production

A major butter shortage in France has led to supply issues in supermarkets, with serious concerns that it will affect the production of croissants!
Posted by: admin , October 27, 2017
  • THIS IS NOT A TEST.
  • A major butter shortage in France has led to supply issues in supermarkets, with serious concerns that it will affect the production of croissants!
  • Since April 2016, the value of butter has risen from €2,500 per ton to €7,000 per ton.
  • It’s believed that the shortage has been caused by an increase in demand for French butter (and in general, butter over margarine), and low milk production.
  • According to French baking lobby group, the Federation des Entrepreneurs de la Boulangerie, this is a “major crisis” for France’s annual 8.5 billion baking industry.
  • Agriculture minister Stéphane Travert says milk production is expected to pick up from December.
  • In the meantime, naturally, some opportunists are taking to the internet to sell French butter at ridiculous prices.
  • It’sbreported that Australia is also in the middle of a butter shortage!
  • Quelle horreur!
