Salon International de l’Agriculture 2027 – Paris, France

What to expect in 2027

Salon International de l’Agriculture 2027 will bring together farmers, breeders, agricultural organisations, food producers, agricultural businesses, technology companies, researchers, professionals and members of the public at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The event is one of France’s best-known agricultural gatherings, presenting agriculture through livestock, crops, food products, agricultural professions, services, innovation and rural life. The organiser expects more than 1,000 exhibitors and around 600,000 visitors, creating a large meeting place for both agricultural professionals and the general public.

The 2027 edition will have four major exhibition worlds covering livestock and its sectors, crops and plant production, products and flavours from France, overseas territories and around the world, and agricultural services and professions. These four areas provide the framework for discovering farming systems, food products, agricultural careers, rural businesses, machinery, services, innovations and the people working throughout the agricultural supply chain.

Serbia will be the country of honour for the 2027 edition, adding an international dimension to the exhibition. Its presence will provide an opportunity to discover Serbian agricultural production, food specialities, rural traditions and agricultural relationships with France and other international markets.

Livestock remains one of the most recognisable elements of the show. Visitors can encounter agricultural breeds, animal presentations, competitions and demonstrations, while professionals can meet breeders, genetics specialists, agricultural organisations and companies providing livestock-related products and services. The event also connects livestock with food production, farming careers, agricultural education and technological development.

For professional visitors, SIA’PRO provides an additional business-oriented environment focused on agricultural transitions, technologies, networking and innovation. The professional programme includes a dedicated forum, AGRI’TECH for agricultural digital technologies, AGRI’METIERS for careers and training, and a professional village presenting products and services for farmers.

Venue & exhibition site

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles provides the large-scale exhibition infrastructure required for the Salon International de l’Agriculture. The complex contains multiple exhibition pavilions, conference spaces, visitor facilities, restaurants and transport connections, allowing different agricultural sectors to operate simultaneously.

The exhibition site is located in the southwest of Paris and is directly connected to the city’s public transport network. Its position makes it practical for visitors staying in central Paris as well as for professionals travelling from other parts of France.

The show’s exhibition structure uses individual pavilions for different agricultural themes. Livestock, crops, food products, services, agricultural careers and international participation are distributed across dedicated areas so that visitors can choose the subjects most relevant to them.

The venue also supports large animal displays and agricultural demonstrations while providing indoor environments for exhibitors, food producers, conferences and professional meetings. This combination helps the show function as both a public attraction and a major agricultural business event.

Agriculture & environmental sectors

The exhibition covers agriculture from production through to food, services and professional development. Livestock is one of its central areas, with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, donkeys and other animals represented through breed presentations, competitions and educational activities.

The crop and plant sector provides another major part of the exhibition. Visitors can discover crops, horticulture, gardening, vegetable production, seeds, plants and agricultural techniques. This section connects agricultural production with environmental subjects, soil management, biodiversity and resource use.

Agricultural services and professions form another major sector. Visitors can learn about farming careers, training, cooperatives, financing, insurance, agricultural organisations and professional services. This area is particularly useful for students and people considering careers in agriculture.

Environmental issues are integrated throughout the exhibition rather than being limited to one section. Topics can include sustainable farming, organic production, biodiversity, resource efficiency, agricultural technology, climate adaptation and new production methods.

The professional programme also addresses agricultural transitions and technological developments. Through conferences, networking and innovation activities, visitors can learn about changing farming practices and technologies being developed for the agricultural sector.

Products, technologies & innovations

Innovation is an increasingly important part of Salon International de l’Agriculture. The exhibition provides a platform for agricultural technology companies, start-ups and professional organisations presenting solutions for modern farming.

AGRI’TECH will focus specifically on digital agriculture and innovative start-ups. The area is designed to introduce visitors to technologies capable of changing agricultural practices, including digital systems, connected tools, data applications and other technology-based solutions.

Professional visitors can also use LE FORUM to follow discussions about innovation, artificial intelligence and agricultural challenges. The GAIA hackathon adds a collaborative component, bringing participants together around technology and agricultural issues.

Potential areas of innovation represented across the wider exhibition include:

• Precision agriculture
• Farm-management software
• Connected agricultural equipment
• Artificial intelligence
• Agricultural robotics
• Animal monitoring
• Digital traceability
• New crop-production technologies
• Renewable-energy solutions
• Resource-management systems
• New food-production technologies
• Agricultural logistics

The exhibition also provides an opportunity to see how technology connects with practical farming. Instead of focusing exclusively on laboratory research, exhibitors can demonstrate commercial solutions intended for farmers, producers, food businesses and agricultural organisations.

Demonstrations & workshops

Demonstrations are an important part of the visitor experience. The show combines animal presentations, competitions, agricultural demonstrations, food activities and exhibitor-led events to provide visitors with opportunities to see agriculture in action.

Livestock activities allow visitors to observe breeds and learn about breeding, animal husbandry and genetics. The animal areas are also important meeting points for breeders and agricultural professionals, providing opportunities for conversations about production systems and livestock management.

Food demonstrations and tastings provide another practical element. Visitors can discover regional products, agricultural specialities and food-production traditions from France, overseas territories and international participants.

Professional visitors have additional opportunities through conferences, networking sessions and specialist activities. LE FORUM provides a dedicated setting for professional discussions, while AGRI’TECH provides opportunities to investigate digital agricultural solutions.

The final 2027 schedule of individual demonstrations and workshops will be published through the official programme as exhibitors and organisers confirm their activities.

Professional & trade visitor access

Professional visitors have access to a dedicated SIA’PRO pathway designed around agricultural business, networking, innovation and professional development. The programme is intended for farmers, agricultural companies, suppliers, advisers, researchers, students and other people working within the agricultural ecosystem.

LE FORUM provides conferences, networking opportunities, innovation discussions and the GAIA hackathon. AGRI’TECH focuses on agricultural digitalisation and start-ups, while AGRI’METIERS provides information related to agricultural careers, education and training. The Village des professionnels offers products and services specifically relevant to agricultural professionals.

The professional route also provides access to dedicated visitor services. The official visitor FAQ explains that professional visitors can obtain a professional pass with dedicated services and events, while international agricultural professionals can receive assistance connected with their visit.

Business visitors can therefore use the show for several purposes, including meeting existing partners, identifying new suppliers, learning about technologies, investigating agricultural services and following professional discussions.

Exhibition halls & floor plan

The exhibition uses several pavilions at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, with the different areas organised around livestock, plants, food products, agricultural services and professional activities.

The main exhibition structure includes:

• Livestock and related sectors: Breeding, animals, genetics and livestock-related activities.
• Crops and plant sectors: Crops, plants, gardening and vegetable production.
• Products and flavours: Food, regional products, French specialities, overseas products and international flavours.

• Professional areas: Networking, innovation, digital agriculture and agricultural business activities.

The 2027 exhibition is being presented around these four major worlds, giving visitors a clearer structure for exploring the show.

The official website provides an interactive exhibitor catalogue and personalised-visit tools. Visitors can use these resources to identify exhibitors and build a route before entering the exhibition.

The precise locations of individual exhibitors, competitions and activities should be checked through the official map and programme because stand allocations and schedules can change.

Sustainability & environmental initiatives

Sustainability is addressed throughout the agricultural programme, reflecting the range of environmental, economic and technological challenges facing farming. The exhibition presents agriculture as a broad ecosystem that includes production, food, technology, education, rural development and environmental management.

Plant and crop areas provide opportunities to explore gardening, vegetable production, agricultural crops and resource-management practices. Livestock areas allow visitors to learn about breeding, animal husbandry, genetics and agricultural production systems.

Technology is another important part of the sustainability discussion. Digital agriculture, artificial intelligence, connected equipment and other technologies can support farmers in monitoring operations, managing resources and making production decisions. AGRI’TECH specifically focuses on digital solutions and start-ups working on agricultural innovation.

The professional programme also provides space for discussions about agricultural transitions. These sessions allow farmers, experts, technology companies and other participants to exchange information about new approaches to production and the future development of agriculture.

Event rules

Visitors should follow the official admission, security and venue rules established by the organiser and Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Security checks may take place at the entrances, and access can be refused to anyone who does not comply with the required security measures.

Tickets should be purchased only through the official ticketing system or authorised partners. The organiser states that tickets obtained through resale platforms may be refused at the entrance. Tickets and invitations should not be resold or reproduced.

Visitors should follow staff instructions in livestock areas, competition rings, demonstration zones and restricted professional areas. Particular care is required around animals, machinery and equipment.

The exhibition is a busy public and professional event, so visitors should respect exhibitors, breeders, staff and other attendees. Photography or recording at individual stands should also respect the preferences of exhibitors and participants.

How to get there

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is located at 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The venue is directly connected to several public transport routes, making public transport one of the most convenient ways to reach the exhibition.

Visitors travelling by Metro can use Line 12 to Porte de Versailles or Line 8 to Balard. Line 12 provides connections toward major Paris transport hubs including Montparnasse and Saint-Lazare, while Line 8 provides access toward the Invalides area and Orly Airport connections.

Tram lines T2 and T3 also stop at Porte de Versailles, providing connections with other parts of the Paris transport network. Bus routes serving the venue include Lines 39 and 80.

International visitors can therefore reach the exhibition using Paris’s extensive metro, tram, bus and rail network without necessarily requiring a private vehicle.

Public transport & parking

Public transport is strongly integrated into the visitor experience at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Metro Line 12 and Line 8 provide direct access to the area, while Tram T2 and T3 and Bus 39 and 80 also serve the exhibition site.

Visitors travelling by car should consider using park-and-ride or public transport where possible because central Paris traffic and parking demand can make driving less convenient.

Visitors arriving from airports can connect to the Paris public transport network and continue to Porte de Versailles. The venue’s location also makes it accessible from major Paris railway stations through the Metro system.

The official visitor information should be checked before travelling for the latest access instructions, transport changes and venue-specific information.

Accommodation areas

Central Paris provides the widest choice of accommodation for visitors attending the Salon International de l’Agriculture. Hotels in the 15th arrondissement are particularly convenient because they place visitors close to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

Visitors can also consider accommodation around Montparnasse, Invalides, Saint-Lazare and other districts with direct or convenient Metro connections to Porte de Versailles.

For visitors combining the agricultural show with sightseeing, central districts around the Eiffel Tower, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Montparnasse and the Latin Quarter provide access to restaurants, cultural attractions and public transport.

International visitors should book accommodation early because large exhibitions can create strong demand for rooms in areas close to the venue. Using accommodation close to a Metro or tram station can also make daily travel easier.

Accessibility

The Salon International de l’Agriculture provides dedicated accessibility services for visitors with reduced mobility. The organiser publishes accessibility information and provides a reduced admission arrangement for PRM visitors and their companions, subject to the required disability documentation.

The official website also provides an Easy-to-Read and Understand guide designed to help visitors prepare for their visit. The guide covers practical information, exhibition areas, animals, accessibility services and other visitor requirements.

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is served by public transport connections, while visitors with specific accessibility requirements can plan their route around the most suitable entrances and transport options.

Visitors who need additional assistance should check the latest official accessibility information before travelling and contact the organiser or venue if they require specific support.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous edition welcomed a large audience and demonstrated the broad public and professional appeal of the Salon International de l’Agriculture. The organiser reported 437,402 visitors, 1,146 exhibitors and 3,500 animals, together with 79 official visits.

The exhibition brought together the different dimensions of agriculture, including livestock, crops and plants, agricultural services, food products and professional activities. Animal presentations remained an important attraction, while exhibitors provided information about agricultural products, services, technologies and careers.

The professional audience also remained significant. The organiser’s exhibitor information reports more than 32,000 professional visitors, demonstrating that the event serves both the general public and agricultural business community.

The international character of the show was reinforced through foreign delegations and the country-of-honour programme. The previous edition featured Côte d’Ivoire, while Serbia will take over the country-of-honour role for the 2027 edition.

The previous edition also demonstrated the importance of agricultural dialogue, with exhibitors, breeders, professionals, visitors and organisations using the event to exchange information about farming, food, rural communities and agricultural development.
