Doux has seen its production fall 7-8% in recent months and last year closed one of its abattoirs in Brittany.
As a result of significant decline in duck meat consumption in Europe, two of Doux’s processing plants are to close while a turkey plant will be shut down too as well as a distribution hub.
Doux is also poised to close 100,000 square metres of chicken runs in Brittany operated by breeders under contract.
Earlier this week the French government has announced a package of aid for the sector totalling €9m.
