About agriculture in Istres
Istres is located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France, positioned between the Étang de Berre lagoon and the vast Crau plain. The surrounding rural landscape is a unique combination of Mediterranean wetlands and the stony, steppe-like terrain of the Crau, offering a distinct environment for specialized agriculture.
The area is internationally renowned for the production of Foin de Crau, a high-quality hay that holds an AOC (Protected Designation of Origin) status. Beyond hay production, the region supports extensive sheep farming, particularly the Merinos d'Arles breed, as well as olive groves and orchards dedicated to peaches and nectarines.
For farm workers and agronomists, employment opportunities are largely tied to the seasonal cycles of hay harvesting and fruit picking. There is a steady demand for labor in irrigation management and livestock care, with a professional environment that values traditional expertise alongside modern sustainable farming practices.
