Le marché du canard a beaucoup évolué au cours des dix dernières années : la production de viande a plus que doublé. [...] D'après les abattages contrôlés, les canards de Barbarie constituent plus de la moitié des quantités abattues, mais beaucoup moins d'après la production de poussins. La divergence entre ces données est essentiellement due au fort pourcentage de canards autoconsommés. 2, record 1, French, - canard%20musqu%C3%A9
