Abstract :

The aim of this article is to analyze the impact of market openness on the geographical concentration of agricultural and agro-food activities between various regions of France. Production which is the most exposed to international competition tends to be concentrated between regions. In prospective terms, the increasing openness of markets seems to lead to geographical concentration of activities, with products which benefit particularly from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) being especially sensitive to this phenomenon.
