The South Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region is a geographically and culturally diverse area with a wide variety of terroirs that have influenced its culinary heritage, which today is full of colours, smells and flavours, as well as a wide range of agri-food companies, combining tradition and modernity.
The Mediterranean diet, listed as a cultural and intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO in 2010, is more than ever a societal response in line with consumers' search for healthy and enjoyable food and with the nutritional recommendations of public authorities and experts.
The food industry is a major sector of the economy of the Southern Region, relying on a historical know-how, a network of efficient actors, and a strong and positive international image. With more than 1,000 firms, the regional food industrial sector has a turnover of nearly 8 billion euros. It is mainly constituted of small and medium-sized companies alongside national and international leaders who have been established in the region for a long time.
The South Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region stands out for its important weight in the activities linked to the processing and conservation of "fruit and vegetables" and "prepared dishes and condiments", but also to the "beverages" and "cocoa, chocolate, confectionery, sugar, tea, coffee" sectors. But the sectors of activity are even more diversified with the existence of renowned companies and brands.
