Absence of cows, FNSEA-Rural Coordination conflict, parade of candidates… What will the 2026 Agricultural Show look like?

This is the showcase of the France farm. But the 2026 edition of the international agricultural show (SIA, from February 21 to March 1), organized at Paris-Expo (15th), will have a particular flavor. The reason? For the first time in 62 editions, it will take place without cows. “It will be a different show,” admits Jérôme Despey, president of the SIA, who wants to believe that “there is no reason why there will be fewer visitors than in previous years.” Last year, the event welcomed some 607,000 visitors.
