Laravel Form Set Default Selection

Question

If I make a change in the code I shared, I want it to come directly with 'Produits' selected or is there an easier alternative?

I would be very grateful if you can help me with this. Thank you for your help.

@section('page-action')
    <div class="col-auto" style="width: 200px;">
        {{ Form::select('item_type', $product_type, null, ['id' => 'item_type', 'class' => 'form-control select ', 'required' => 'required', 'placeholder' => 'Type de produit']) }}
    </div>
