fatted geese & duck sector

Explanation:
I think it's very important not to leave out the 'fatted' part — these will be geese/ducks that have been fattened especially for foie gras.

Note that 'fattened geese' actually gets more Google hits, thought I personally have always been familiar with the term as 'fatted' (and cf. Biblical term "killing the fatted calf") — but perhaps this is rather archaic now?
