The Paris International Agricultural Show (French: Salon International de l'Agriculture, or SIA) is an annual agricultural show and trade fair, that takes place at the end of February or beginning of March at the Paris expo Porte de Versailles in Paris, France. It is one of the world's largest and most important agricultural shows, drawing larger crowds than any other in Paris except the Foire de Paris. This event was first held in 1870 as the Concours gnral agricole (CGA, "General Agricultural Show"). Its name was changed in 1964, but the Concours still exists and is one of the fair's main attractions.
