The 2026 Salon de l’agriculture, opening on Saturday, February 21st in Paris, will feature dozens of breeders and producers from the Occitanie region amidst significant agricultural tensions. This year's event will notably take place without cows and is overshadowed by ongoing farmer protests. While the FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs aim for a "convivial" atmosphere, acknowledging sector difficulties, they have shifted focus from seeking a new agricultural vision from President Macron to anticipating the 2027 presidential election. The Coordination rurale (CR) has announced a boycott of the presidential inauguration, with its president advising against approaching their stand, though they plan to meet with politicians who supported the Duplomb law. The Confédération paysanne will also boycott the presidential inauguration.
