Les productions françaises d’oléagineux de spécialité : des démarches en filière pour créer de la valeur dans nos territoires

Abstract

Dans un contexte de demande de diversification de la part du consommateur, de recherche de nouveaux débouchés pour les producteurs et de mondialisation des marchés oléagineux, les acteurs de la filière française ont développé des productions de spécialité afin de redonner de la valeur ajoutée à la filière. Cette analyse dresse un panorama de ces productions à travers quatre exemples : la filière oléique pour des qualités nutritionnelles et fonctionnelles reconnues, la filière érucique pour une diversité de débouchés en oléochimie, la filière Fleur de Colza – démarche de long terme de partenariat agricole – et la filière bio – un marché jeune, dynamique, en cours de structuration. Dans chaque cas, la valorisation pour le producteur nécessite une démarche de filière avec l’accompagnement de l’ensemble des acteurs afin de valoriser l’origine française par la traçabilité, apporter conseil et formation aux agriculteurs, optimiser la supply chain, soutenir la recherche variétale et développer la contractualisation pluriannuelle.

Effect of environmental conditions and genotype on nectar secretion in sunflower (Helianthus annuusL.)

“…On the other hand, entomophilous crops can be a source of nectar relied upon by beekeepers to produce honey, especially oilseed crops such as sunflower (Breeze et al, 2019). In France, to explain the decrease of honey yields observed in this crop since the 1980's and 1990's (Cerrutti and Pontet, 2016), some beekeepers suspect recent cultivars to secrete less nectar compared to the older ones, in particular oleic cultivars, carrying a type introduced since the early 2000s (Tonin, 2018). Some beekeepers also suspect breeding for self-fertility to have led to cultivars that are less productive in nectar.…”

Sunflower in the global vegetable oil system: situation, specificities and perspectives

“…High oleic sunflower contains 4 times more oleic acid than classical sunflower, with 84% oleic acid in oil. It competes on global scale with other high oleic oils but has the highest oleic level compared to oleic safflower (78%), oleic rapeseed and canola (75-73%) and oleic soybean (73%) (Tonin, 2018). The oleic market is pulled by the demand of food and catering industries, as an alternative to trans-fats presenting good technological properties (relatively long life, stability to temperature), with low saturated fats.…”

“…For almost 20 years, France has been a pioneer regarding oleic sunflower, more than 60% of its production being converted to oleic varieties since 2010, reaching 76% in 2019. The production of oleic sunflower grew quickly in Ukraine and Russia, reaching 420 Kha in 2018 (Tonin, 2018) and will probably quickly overpass the acreage in Western Europe. This boost in production shake up the premiums for oleic sunflower and their regularity.…”

Ideal oil and protein crops – what are users ideotypes, from the farmer to the consumer?

“…In 2016 in France, only 357 kha of field crops were organicforage, vineyards, fruit and vegetable areas account for most of the 1.5 Mha of organic agriculture. We are living the early stage of organic oilseeds and pulses production in France an Europe, but this sector must tackle important obstacles and get more structured in order to succeed (Tonin, 2018).…”
