Statistics on the baguette consumption in France question
Does anyone know how to get recent statistics about the consumption of baguettes in France over the last 10 years
or so. I have tried contacting the The Association of Bakers in France in both English and French as well as other sources and never get an answer. There has been deep reduction in comsumption of the baguette and it has had a very negative effect on the bakers who prepare it from scratch ("a La Masion") a classification defined by the French government. I have been wanting to write an article "Save The Baguetts" but can only find old figures.
Thanks,
