Confédération Nationale de la Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Française (CNBPF) and Swile signed a partnership agreement in May, joining forces to offer benefits for bakeries in France. From May 15, the professional entities affiliated with the CNBPF benefit from a significant reduction in commissions, with a rate reserved for them.
The National Confederation of French Bakery Pastry (La Confédération Nationale de la Boulangerie Pâtisserie Française – CNBPF) created a new award – ‘My bakery, committed to sustainable development’, to highlight notable commitments to sustainable development in the industry. Four bakeries were rewarded for their actions and commitments in terms of sustainable development and for their ability to meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals:
Leclerc stores introduced a new, lower price for baguettes, which are now sold for EUR 0.29. Lidl France joined to match this selling price soon after. The average price of a baguette in France is EUR 0.90.
