Rungis and Milan Produce

The Rungis & Milan markets are world-famous for some of the best French and Italian produce available.

Rungis Market, based just outside Paris, is a mecca for gourmets and one of the largest fresh produce markets in the world.

It supplies many of the top-tier restaurants in Paris and has acquired a reputation as a gastronomic hotspot owing to the incomparable diversity of the products sold.

Milan’s Ortomercato (Fruit Wholesale Market) is one of the biggest in Italy.

It’s the largest in Italy for the number of products sold with particular attention paid to guaranteeing both traceability and maximum hygienic-sanitary safety.
