While France has been producing the majority of the world's foie gras for some time, its share is slowly decreasing: after an initial increase between 2013 and 2015, the share of French foie gras in the world production dropped to 63 percent in 2017 and has since been slowly increasing again.
The 2015-2017 period was the time when the world produced the least amount of foie gras over the 2013-2019 period, and 2020 the year with the lowest production volume for this product.
In 2015, an avian flu epidemic (H5N1) hit France, while many ducks and goose were affected, this strand of the virus was particularly dangerous to chicken. However, between 2016 and 2017, the H5N8 virus, another variation of the bird flu, spread across the country. This strand of the virus was deadly to both ducks and goose, and, as a result, millions were euthanized.
