Rungis International Market
Rungis International Market[edit | edit source]
The Rungis International Market is a wholesale food market located in Rungis, a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is one of the largest wholesale food markets in the world.
History[edit | edit source]
The Rungis market was established in 1969, replacing the old central market in Les Halles in the heart of Paris. The decision to move the market was made due to the increasing congestion in the city center and the need for modern facilities.
Structure and Operations[edit | edit source]
The market covers an area of 234 hectares and is organized into several sectors, each dedicated to a specific type of product. These sectors include the Fish Market, the Meat Market, the Fruit and Vegetable Market, the Flower Market, and the Dairy Market. Each sector has its own buildings and facilities.
The market operates on a wholesale basis, serving retailers, restaurants, and other food businesses. It is open from Monday to Saturday, with different opening hours for each sector. The market is managed by the SEMRMARIS company, which is responsible for the maintenance and development of the site.
Economic Impact[edit | edit source]
The Rungis International Market plays a significant role in the French economy. It generates billions of euros in annual turnover and provides employment for thousands of people. The market also plays a key role in the food supply chain, ensuring the availability of fresh produce to consumers in Paris and beyond.
Future Developments[edit | edit source]
Plans for the future development of the Rungis market include the expansion of the existing sectors and the creation of new ones. There are also plans to improve the market's environmental performance, with initiatives aimed at reducing waste and energy consumption.
