Agri-food workshops at Montpellier's Marché Gare market
Classified as a "market of national interest", the Marché Gare (MIN) is key player in Montpellier’s food industry.
Located at the main transportation hubs on the southern edge of the city (A9 and A709 – Près d’Arènes district), it encompasses warehousing, trading, and distribution activities for a large number of food products, a significant proportion of which are locally sourced.
Since 2016, a processing hub dedicated to converting raw products has brought together around ten processing companies, from meat cutting to vegetable processing and tofu production.
In a context where demand for food processing facilities exceeds existing supply, The Montpellier Marché Gare inaugurated new workshops at the end of 2024 in a building specially dedicated to processing.
