## What happened at Salon International de l’Agriculture 2026

The Paris agricultural show ran at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from 21 February to 1 March 2026. For the first time cattle were absent, kept away because of lumpy skin disease (dermatose nodulaire contagieuse), which organisers named as the main reason for lower attendance.
The show counted 437,402 visitors, 28% fewer than the 607,503 of 2025 and the 603,652 of 2024. Organisers also cited the school holiday calendar and calls for boycotts. During the show the European Commission ordered the provisional application of the EU–Mercosur agreement, which dominated the political debate in the halls.
