This isn't exactly what I was searching for, I was more interested in the "independant farms" part

In France, most "family ran" farms work on rented land and under an exclusivity contract that forces them to sell all their production to a single company. This leads to a situation where the few billionaires that buy food from everyone get to set the prices at which they buy different crops (and therefore what the farmers produce), and whether to export it. In other news, France is exporting wine while malnutrition rises and the major food charity is running out of fund as the demand increases. The government has stepped in to fund the charity, but still, we end up prioritizing exporting alcohol over feeding locals.

I would be more interested in how the system decides what is exported and produced, rather than in what is currently exported and produced
