Paris: With less and less people sending each other letters, France's post office is looking to evolve into a premium meals-on-wheels service, its boss said Wednesday.
"I think food deliveries will be the top activity for postal workers" by 2035, said Philippe Wahl, the head of La Poste.
In many village post offices, less than five customers turn up a day, Wahl told the upper-house Senate.
As for letter and parcel deliveries, they are projected to have dropped from 70 percent of business in 1990 to just 15 percent by the end of 2024.
The post office however carries out 10 percent of food deliveries nationwide.
