This cross-cutting deliverable of the SOCLE project complements the per-supply-chain analyses by focusing on France's international trade. It offers a unified view of agricultural import-export flows, across all aggregation levels, for the 14 SOCLE supply chains and 233 distinct trade partners, over three calendar years: 2015, 2019 and 2023.
The data comes from the French Customs (DGDDI / DSECE), made available through the lekiosque.finances.gouv.fr portal. The product nomenclature used is HS4 (4-digit Harmonised System, 115 codes in scope); the country nomenclature follows the UN M49 standard (5 levels: Countries → Sub-regions → Regions / Continents → EU / Non-EU → World). The perimeter covers the whole of France (mainland + overseas departments) and only concerns agricultural raw materials and their primary processing.
The EU / Non-EU status follows the year considered: the European Union has 28 member states in 2015 and 2019, and 27 in 2023 — the United Kingdom is therefore counted as Non-EU for that last year, in line with Brexit.
