A very demanding global context

BIRD FLU IN FRANCE

BIRD FLU

CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE & RISE IN RAW MATERIAL PRICES

PURCHASING POWER AND CONSUMPTION

A mutual aid plan to deal with an exceptionally severe outbreak of bird

flu

2 national zones hit by bird flu

South-West region:

3rd largest poultry producing region in France

Vendée basin:

2nd largest poultry producing region in France

(20% of national turkey and chicken production)

Point in common:

2 main foie gras producing regions

➢ The mutual aid plan mitigated the decline in volumes

Impacts for the sector

• Impact on implementations linked to a 30% drop in volumes between March and August vs. 2021

FOR THE GROUP

• 70% of the Group's supplies from other poultry basins

• Thanks to the mutual aid plan, limited fall in volumes of -12% to -15% between March and August vs. 2021

Strong and immediate health measures to contain the epidemic

1 Slaughter of animals to clean up sensitive areas

2 Depopulation to avoid the spread of the virus

3 A latent period of several weeks to ensure disappearance of the virus

Animal depopulation

Poses an extreme psychological and financial risk for farmers

Is not acceptable to citizen consumers

Is very costly for the State

Together with:

Strengthened biosecurity - strengthened health barriers in livestock farming and hygiene precautions during all transport

Enhanced surveillance - widespread screening for early detection of the virus

A common approach at EU level

Raw materials + expenses: price increases needed by July 2022

France AgriMer CAM - Fresh meat and poultry

Financial objective: less visibility

Catered Food

- the elimination of bird flu International

Outlook dependent on:

k Poultry

- the level and pace of price increases

Price increases still not enough at present

Good visibility on price increases and level of activity

Results expected to improve
