Hosted at the Paris Expo\u2013Porte de Versailles, the exhibition runs from late February to early March each year, showcasing agricultural and livestock products, related value chains, farming technologies, partnerships, and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 edition opened on Saturday, February 21, and was officially inaugurated by French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rwanda is exhibiting at Stand 7, highlighting its progress in developing export-oriented agricultural and livestock products. The country is represented by the National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB) and the Embassy of Rwanda in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event provides a platform for traders, farmers, entrepreneurs, and investors to exchange expertise and build partnerships to advance the agriculture and livestock sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifteen Rwandan companies are participating, showcasing products such as coffee, tea, honey, and other value-added goods. The participation reflects Rwanda\u2019s continued investment in strengthening agricultural value chains and expanding access to international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agricultural and livestock exports remain a key driver of Rwanda\u2019s economy. In December 2025, the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources announced that exports from the sector had generated more than $893.1 million in revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Second National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), Rwanda aims to increase annual foreign exchange earnings from agricultural and livestock exports to $1.5 billion by 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
