You may be familiar with packages of steak with the brand Charal on most supermarket shelves. The brand belongs to Bigard who own over half the abattoir capacity in France. At the Salon d'Agriculture yesterday angry beef farmers sprayed the Charal stand with flour to draw attention to the low margins they receive from Bigard, claiming that they receive less than 10% of the retail price.
Bigard refused to comment.
