The French asparagus season, which will start at the beginning of March, is likely to be of good quality. The Bassin Rhône Mediterrannée (south of France) forecasts 3 700 tons, the Bassin du Grand Sud-Ouest (south west of France) 3 500 tons and the Val de Loire (centre), 700 tons. Some 15% of the production will be exported.
