France’s dairy industry is now urging French people to eat more cheese to help in reviving it. They have launched a campaign called Fromagissons (let’s act for cheese), which is going to help traditional cheese makers. Since the lockdown due to COVID-19, the dairy industry has been hit, and is now asking French people to increase their consumption of cheese. So a lot more of brie, camembert, and reblochon are going to be on dining tables across France.
With lockdown across the country, all sorts of markets, restaurants, and cafes were shut the entire time, and this certainly caused sales of cheese to fall drastically. In fact, reports suggest that sales of certain cheeses in Frances dropped by 60 percent during this period of time.

Of course cheese is a popular pleasure food in France, and across various countries in Europe, but people have been deprived of it due to the lockdown. With French cheese producers going through a hard time right now, it is upto the consumer to help out the dairy industry by increasing their cheese consumption. Reports suggest that France produces a staggering 1200 different types of cheeses, and most of these are at a risk right now.
With people staying at home during this global pandemic, it is indeed a great pleasure to sit back at home and enjoy the many cheeses that are available in the market. This way they can help its beloved cheese industry to come back on its feet.
