“We are coming out of three years of crises, whether social, public health, lack of labour, price increases, lack of raw materials… and the one that worries us the most, today , that of energy. No sector is spared. As a result, companies that have been established and deployed for many years are at risk of disappearing,” explains Lucien Amoros, president of the CMA of Haute-Garonne. In the room this Monday evening, nearly 50 professionals from Toulouse. Among them, speakers from the various training centers, but also bakers, pastry chefs, members of the town hall and many others. All affected by the succession of crises, they are now trying to get back on their feet.

Solutions announced to get out of the crisis

After 3 years without a vows ceremony, in 2023, the CMA is starting on new bases, wanting to help these professionals. “We need to set up an appropriate framework to develop projects in the best possible conditions,” adds Lucien Amoros. Restructuring and safeguard plans, sustainable development and circular economy, support for new generations, the solutions offered are multiple. These various crises are forcing the landscape of Toulouse crafts to be reorganized. “We must preserve the first professional producer in France, the craft sector which, we are afraid, is tending to disappear today.
Given the current situation, “we are also going to develop a new “mobility advice” mission in the context of rising fuel prices and the emergence of Metropolitan Low Emission Zones. 190 consulting services are planned for 2023,” concludes the chairman.
