France produces around 70 Mt of cereals, oilseeds and protein crops, representing 1/5th of European production.
There are three main categories of seeds:
cereals, such as wheat, barley and corn;
oilseeds, such as rapeseed or sunflower, which are grains with a high oil content;
protein crops, such as peas and beans, which are protein-rich grains.
