A short supply chain is a distribution channel with a maximum of one intermediary between the producer and the end consumer. Even if the concept of distance is not mentioned, the idea of geographical proximity is often associated with these supply chains.
Short circuits refer to a very wide variety of practices, such as:
- Selling in the markets
- Sale at the farm
- Collective points of sale
- Basket systems and purchasing groups
- Sale in specialized stores
- Selling in collective catering ...
A local supply chain does not take into account the number of intermediaries but rather the geographical distance between the producer and the consumer. The distance determined varies depending on the type of production involved.
In order to highlight these circuits we have decided to create in the heart of the show, the Village des Pyrénéennes which will bring together local producers from the Pyrenees mountain range.
