To great ills, great remedies. Since Monday, the surface markets have had to cease their activities. But at Rungis, we decided to install its stalls on the Internet to make up for the losses linked to the explosion of the coronavirus! After many rumors about its launch and a multitude of fake websites, Rungis delivered to your home will be put online from next week. Shopping from the couch will now be possible, at least for the time of confinement.

The Île-de-France region in partnership with Rungis
The initiative was born out of a partnership between the Île-de-France region, with Valérie Pécresse, and the market. The two parties have mobilized to supply Ile-de-France residents with fresh fruit and vegetables while making the economy of this link in the food chain survive. With this new platform and these deliveries, the Rungis market is helping to encourage the French to stay at home as recommended by the containment measures.

Rungis delivered to your home next week
Rungis market president Stéphane Layani has announced access to the website from Monday March 30. There are fruits and vegetables, but also fish, meat, milk and cheese for a minimum purchase of 50 euros. All the products are as fresh as if you went there with your shopping cart. The products are all 100% French and come from local agriculture. Deliveries are made from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a time slot that you must select beforehand from the available options.
Only for Paris and the little crown
For the time being, deliveries will only be guaranteed than in Paris and its region. They will be dispatched by Rungis professionals and delivered to your door by the postal services. An enlargement of the distribution area is envisaged, but for the beginnings of the site, the market prefers to stick to the Paris region. For logistical, economic, but also health reasons. Because let's not forget, we are still at war with coronavirus. The regions affected by the delivery are: Hauts de Seine, Val-de-Marne, Essonne, Seine-Saint-Denis and Yvelines.
Rungis website already under attack
As soon as the website of Rungis delivered to your home, the site displayed a maintenance message. And for good reason, he was taken by storm very quickly. The best products on the market available for delivery, a service normally reserved for professionals, available to all? It did not take more for the Ile-de-France people to rush on the occasion. The order quota for the week has been reached in just one morning. Suffice to say that the operation is a great success.
