Restricting the analysis purely to economics is a big mistake, imho, like it was during the Brexit referendum in the UK.

Even in France agriculture is a very small percentage of the GDP and jobs. But what has happened is a demonstration of the loss of sovereignty with the EU effectively imposing something against the wish of the country. So the significance is political, and we'll see if that has tangible political effects or not.
