Podcasts about Lactalis

C'est au mois de juin 2025 que j'ai commencé les enregistrements de cette série documentaire, tandis que tout Roquefort se parait de ses habits de lumière pour fêter, en grande pompe, le centenaire de son appellation d'origine. La toute première en France ! Il aurait été dommage de s'en passer, on n'a pas 100 ans tous les jours.Roquefort : le blues du centenaire ? (bande-annonce)Episode 1 : A jamais les pionniersEpisode 2 : Derrière l'industrie, un village atrophiéEpisode 3 : Il faut sauver le soldat Roquefort !Dans ce premier épisode, je vous propose de remonter un peu le temps, d'aller chercher les racines de cette production fromagère pour mieux comprendre le rôle pionnier de roquefort parmi ces produits qui, aujourd'hui, incarnent les terroirs : dans le sens où ils sont indissociables de leur ancrage géographique, intimement associés à des lieux et des traditions ancestrales. Pourquoi et comment la filière s'est-elle organisée, au début du XXe siècle pour protéger son roquefort ?Comme je me sentais un peu seule, dans ses rues désertes, malgré tout, j'ai descendu le village jusqu'à l'entreprise de Vincent Combes, j'étais sûre de le retrouver là-bas. Parmi les 7 fabricants de roquefort aujourd'hui, il est fier de dire qu'il est le « petit poucet ». Aux côtés des trois plus grands leaders de l'agroalimentaire, que sont Lactalis, Savencia et Sodiaal, et qui s'inscrivent dans l'industrialisation de la fabrication de roquefort depuis deux siècles, Vincent Combes a hérité de l'entreprise de son grand-père.Dans ce premier épisode, je croise son témoignage à celui de l'historienne Sylvie Vabre, chercheuse et autrice du livre Le Sacre du Roquefort, L'émergence d'une industrie agroalimentaire.Bonne écoute !Et à bientôt pour la suite de cette trilogie documentaire de Finta!

1925. Depuis cette année-là, on ne peut plus produire du roquefort n'importe où ni n'importe comment. C'est en décrochant son appellation d'origine, la toute première en France, que le « roi des fromages » a été défini par la loi. Pour le consommateur, cela assure sa traçabilité : fini le roquefort au lait de vache, de brebis et de chèvre réunis. Pour les éleveurs, les laitiers et les fabricants, c'est l'assurance d'ancrer l'activité sur un territoire précis et de pérenniser, ainsi, une filière économique non-délocalisable, par définition. 3 mastodontes mondiauxDans les grandes lignes, environ 2600 agriculteurs alimentent 7 entreprises, seulement, qui fabriquent aujourd'hui les 14 000 tonnes de roquefort commercialisées chaque année dans le monde. Parmi ses 7 fabricants, on compte trois mastodontes de l'industrie agroalimentaire mondiale : Lactalis, Savencia, Sodiaal. Les trois leaders industriels français ont leurs propres caves à Roquefort, c'est dire l'attrait de cette filière. A eux trois, ils représentent 95% de la production de roquefort. Les quatre « petits », comme on les appelle souvent, se partagent les 5% restants.Bataille foncièreJuste en disant cela, on comprend que, derrière la vitrine du centenaire, fêté en 2025, se cachent des enjeux plus insoupçonnés : car si la convoitise de grands groupes agroalimentaires a permis au roquefort de s'exporter dans le monde entier, d'être un fleuron du capistalisme agroalimentaire, elle a aussi participer à vider, littéralement, le village de Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, aujourd'hui quasi-fantôme. Puisque le cahier des charges de l'appellation d'origine oblige les fromages à être affinés dans les caves du village, et nulle part ailleurs, la bataille foncière fait rage. Jusqu'à laisser sur la touche des éleveurs qui voudraient renouer avec la fabrication fermière du roquefort, comme il était coutume jusqu'au XIXe siècle, avant l'industrialisation de la filière.Si les acteurs ont réussi, en 1925, à s'allier pour défendre bec et ongle leur fromage face à une concurrence débridée, à la sortie de la première guerre mondiale, il est une autre paire de manche que de faire perdurer cette solidarité dans un marché plus que jamais mondialisé, dans un contexte de difficile renouvellement des générations en agriculture, et parmi des habitudes alimentaires en perpétuelle évolution. Face à la baisse de consommation enregistrée par le roquefort depuis plusieurs années, la filière est bousculée. Mais le cahier des charges demeure pour protéger l'unicité du produit, du « roi des fromages ». Allier la puissance capitalistique du produit à son ancrage ancestral… en voilà un sacré défi à relever !Une trilogie documentaire de Finta !... le 20 décembre 2025, dans vos oreilles !

The mood appears to be souring between coalition parties over the sale of well-known New Zealand's dairy brands to French multinational Lactalis. New Zealand First says the move to sell Fonterra brands like Mainland and Anchor is not in the country's best interests. But ACT's leader David Seymour is championing a free market approach, saying it's the farmers that should be making the decision. Political reporter Russell Palmer has the details.

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has doubled down on his criticism towards Fonterra's plan to sell Mainland and Anchor to the French company Lactalis. In an open letter to the company Peters threatened new regulations if the sale goes ahead. ACT leader David Seymour hit back saying the decision should be up to the farmers, not the Government, a sentiment echoed by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Monday. Peter's claims the letter was not a threat and he did not intend to interfere with the farming community or Fonterra. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday Fonterra announced plans to sell its consumer businesses to global dairy giant Lactalis. The sale price? $3.845 billion.

The sale of Fonterra's consumer business to global dairy giant Lactalis could put hundreds of thousands of dollars into kiwi farmers' accounts. But it's unlikely to affect consumers' hip pockets. The $3.8 billion sale includes major brands such as Mainland and Anchor - and also processing operations in Australia and Sri Lanka. Alexa Cook reports.

Fonterra has agreed to sell its consumer businesses to French multinational dairy company Lactalis - the world's largest dairy outfit. The proposed $3.8 billion sale still requires approval from Fonterra shareholders and if it goes ahead, would include Mainland, Anchor, Kapiti ice cream and milk powder brand Anlene.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 13 août 2025 avec Pascale Hebel, économiste et directrice associée de C-WaysEmission présentée par Salhia Brakhlia..Au moins 21 cas de listériose, dont deux mortels, ont été signalés ces dernières semaines en France. Les autorités sanitaires évoquent un « lien possible » avec plusieurs fromages au lait pasteurisé produits par la fromagerie Chavegrand, basée dans la Creuse, et vendus dans de nombreuses enseignes comme Leclerc, Auchan, Carrefour, Lidl, Système U, Intermarché, Grand Frais, Cora ou Aldi. Les produits rappelés incluent notamment des camemberts, fromages de chèvre, gorgonzolas et bries. Infection grave, la listériose peut avoir une incubation allant jusqu'à huit semaines et provoquer maux de tête, fièvre ou courbatures. Les autorités appellent les consommateurs à vérifier leurs achats et à rapporter en magasin les produits concernés.Foodwatch dénonce « un scandale sanitaire évitable ». L'association de défense des consommateurs affirme avoir repéré, dès le mois de juin, des produits issus de la même fromagerie et présentant la même suspicion de contamination à la listeria. « L'entreprise aurait dû prendre les mesures d'hygiène nécessaires et s'assurer qu'elle ne commercialisait plus de produits dangereux », déclare l'organisation dans un communiqué, estimant que certains rappels sont intervenus trop tard.En France, le dispositif de retrait et de rappel, instauré après la crise de la « vache folle » en 1996, impose de retirer immédiatement des rayons les lots concernés dès l'alerte. Plusieurs affaires ont marqué les dernières années, du lait infantile Lactalis contaminé aux pizzas Buitoni, en passant par les lasagnes à la viande de cheval Findus. En 2024, le nombre d'aliments présentant des risques de contamination s'élevait à 2 087 selon Rappel Conso, soit 5 alertes par jour. Comment sont effectués les contrôles sanitaires ? Comment les produits sont-ils tracés puis retirés du marché ?Pascale Hebel, économiste et directrice associée de C-Ways, reviendra sur les lots de fromages rappelés en France et expliquera comment s'organisent les contrôles sanitaires.

India's dairy industry is quietly transforming and private players are leading the charge.In this episode of The Core Report Weekend Edition, Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with dairy industry veteran Rajiv Mitra about the rapid growth of India's private dairy sector, which now handles half the country's milk. From trade policy tensions with the US and UK to the challenges of exporting value-added dairy products like paneer, cheese, and yoghurt, this episode unpacks the economics, politics, and future of Indian dairy.Mitra explains why India protects dairy in FTAs, the role of 80 million smallholder farmers, and why local brands are thriving despite low margins and logistics hurdles. He also delves into the global export potential of Indian dairy — and what must change for India to compete.
