Expanded ambitions of blueberry farmers in Brittany highlighted in "Bringing them all over France" report
In the heart of France, Prince de Bretagne is making waves in the agricultural sector with its ambitious blueberry production plans. The cooperative, which has been steadily growing its blueberry harvest year by year, has set its sights on becoming a major player in the French market.
Prince de Bretagne's innovation manager, Patrick Guivarch, anticipates a production of 25 to 28 tons of blueberries this year. However, this is just the beginning. The cooperative aims to produce 100-120 tons of blueberries by 2030, a significant increase from current production levels.
One of the key figures driving this growth is Thomas Quillévere, a farmer who has already put his blueberry plants in a nursery for production next year. Quillévere plans to double the production on his farm, contributing to the cooperative's overall goal.
Quillévere's ambition doesn't stop at increasing production. He aims to make the farm permanent and ensure income for everyone involved. To achieve this, he is working on the farm's competitiveness to compete with imported blueberries.
Prince de Bretagne is not only focused on quantity but also quality. The search results do not provide specific information about which person planted new blueberry bushes in 2023 or when these will be harvested for the first time. However, it is clear that the cooperative is investing in the long term, with the farm's culture expected to last for almost 10 to 15 years.
Eight people will be working on the farm to ensure the success of these ambitious plans. As Prince de Bretagne continues to grow, it is clear that blueberries are set to become a significant part of the French agricultural landscape. By 2030, Prince de Bretagne intends to bring blueberries all over France, making the fruit accessible to people across the country.
In a time when sustainability and local produce are increasingly important, Prince de Bretagne's blueberry ambitions offer a promising future for both the cooperative and the French people. As the harvest increases year by year, it will be interesting to see how this cooperative continues to shape the French blueberry industry.
