I'm translating a speech for a European food industry conference, and am not sure how to render "artisanat commercial".
Here is the sentence:
"L’agroalimentaire représente un secteur d’activité majeur (avec **l’artisanat commercial** il représente à peu près 20% du chiffre d’affaires de l’industrie en France)."
INSEE gives the following definition: "L'artisanat commercial regroupe les entreprises ayant pour activité la charcuterie, la boulangerie, la boulangerie-pâtisserie, la pâtisserie, la cuisson de produits de boulangerie."
Is there an English term that covers these specific activities? The only thing I've been able to come up with so far is "food processing", but that seems overly general and doesn't seem to express the "artisanal" aspect as well as the French concept.
Any ideas?
UK English.
Thanks!

Speciality food sector
Speciality food usually covers those sectors: it doesn't necessarily mean hand-made but is more niche than giant factory lines.
Maybe there is a middle ground term that I can't presently think of tho...

Thanks for the suggestion, though not sure it fits here. |

: How would bread fit that? Note that, in France, bread is generally bought directly from the artisan baker.

Artisanal foods
I would use the term "artisanal" here as this word is becoming more and more recognised in the UK and defines a certain sector of either hand crafted, farm produced, or finely made products.
"Artisanal food encompasses breads, cheeses, fruit preserves, cured meats, beverages, oils, and vinegars that are made by hand using traditional methods by skilled craftworkers, known as food artisans.[1] The foodstuff material from farmers and backyard growers can include fruit, grains and flours, milks for cheese, cured meats, fish, beverages, oils, and vinegars. The movement is focused on providing farm to fork type foods with locally sourced products that benefit the consumer, small scale growers and producers, and the local economy." economy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artisanal_food

You could say "The artisanal food market" in order to incorporate the idea of "commecial".
ie:
"There's no denying that the ARTISANAL FOOD MARKET is booming. From home brewing and smoking meat to handmade cheeses, chutneys and preserves, Britain is teeming with tasty gourmet fare, but just who are the people behind the goods?"

Example sentence:
"Primarily Clearspring was born out of a wish to build a global organic food brand, to protect and develop the production of authentic and ARTISANAL FOODS, and to distribute such good foods worldwide."

Thanks, this is definitely on the right track though I ended up using artisan food sector. |
