The jobs figure is approximately 1.9 million, not exactly 2 million — the claim rounds it up by about 5%.
The 300 billion euro turnover figure appears to derive from studies dating from roughly 2015–2020 (a French Senate report already cited it in 2015) and has been repeated by official sources since; no more recent France-specific estimate was found in the searches, so its exact currency as of 2026 is not established.
Sources are French national bodies (FranceAgriMer, CCI France, Sénat) and public media (Radio France); no EU-level primary source (e.g., Eurostat) was consulted for the France-specific figure.
