The 62nd Paris International Agricultural Show opened on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center, running until March 1. This year's event is marked by the unprecedented absence of cattle due to the bovine dermatosis outbreak that affected farms in the fall of 2025. President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated the salon, stating that France is "durably winning" the fight against the disease, with no new cases reported since January 2. Macron met with agricultural representatives, including the FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs, though the Coordination Rurale and Confédération Paysanne declined to attend. Security measures were heightened due to ongoing tensions within the agricultural sector.
