Beginning of the show “with our fishermen” declares Emmanuel Macron
The President of the Republic began his visit to the agricultural show shortly before 8 a.m. this Saturday morning. He started by meeting the fishermen. “Start of a day at the Salon de l’Agriculture, with our fishermen!”, He tweeted.
Emmanuel Macron, the president who spent the most time at the show
Jacques Chirac had spent until 5:30 a.m. on the agricultural show when he was President of the Republic, François Hollande almost ten hours… But it is the current President Emmanuel Macron who holds the record for time spent at an agricultural show. He had spent more than 12 hours there in 2018, nearly 2:30 p.m. in 2019. This year he should spend around 12 hours there.

The issue of drought addressed this Saturday
After the historic drought of the summer, and the fears for the months to come, the Head of State should set “a course” on the water savings to be achieved “collectively”, a crucial issue for the agricultural world, according to the Elysée. This involves “better irrigation”, “more drought resistant varieties” and the recycling of wastewater.
He should also mention the construction of water reserves for farmers, a subject that ruffles environmentalists, according to the Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau.

Emmanuel Macron arrived at the Agricultural Show
The President of the Republic arrived at Porte de Versailles, in the south of Paris, early Saturday morning, shortly before 8 a.m., and began his visit with a meeting with fishing professionals. He is accompanied by Marc Fesneau (Minister of Agriculture) and Hervé Berville (Sea).

Inflation, pesticides, production, income: the files of the Salon
There are many files waiting for the Head of State and the political leaders who have planned to meet with the exhibitors.
In addition to inflation, the issue of production is of concern to farmers who recently demonstrated in Paris as in other metropolises. They protest in particular against the reduction of pesticides available to them. In addition, the profession is considered unattractive, in particular because of an income that is often lower than that of their compatriots.
