Abstract: A comparative study of the French companies versus their European and American counterparts shows that in France companies specialise more in the basic initial stage of food processing, which is a sign of structural weakness. However, from a financial point of view this sector remains in France very attractive and fairly sound. Of all industrial companies, it is still the one which generates the most free cash flow. Taking all these factors into account, and given the difficulties the industry is facing situation as far as the level of consumption is concerned (e.g. October 95), acontraction in this industry should be expected, the larger players absorbing their frailer competitors. It is indeed the only way for these companies to maintain an upward growth trend. Our analysis tries to pinpoint those companies best placed to benefit from this situation.
