France is almost self-sufficient, except for animal feed”, thus explained Sunday Michel-Édouard Leclerc, the boss of the distributor of the same name. “In France, today, there is no shortage for everyday consumption and there will not be until the summer”, he said on BFMTV. And to insist: “Pasta, there is. For sunflower oil, it was made with sunflower from last year. We have stocks of oil until June.”

On the other hand, concerning the prices of this product, Michel Berio, the French boss of the Lidl stores is, categorical: they will increase well. The increase has already begun since the liter has gone from 1.79 euros to 2.10 euros in three months, explained the latter on Sunday in an interview with Parisian.
