Agrimax Grand Est: Advancing Mixed Farming and Livestock Innovation in France

The Agrimax Grand Est has emerged as a vital event in the French agricultural calendar, serving as a key gathering for livestock and mixed-farming professionals. Held at the Centre Foires et Congrès de Metz Métropole in Metz, this regional trade fair has quickly gained prominence, not only for its scale and scope but for its ambition: to become France's third-largest national livestock event. For farmers, breeders, and agri-innovators in the Grand Est region, Agrimax offers more than a showcase—it’s a strategic hub for knowledge-sharing, technology, and future-focused agriculture.

One of the central missions of Agrimax Grand Est is to unite agricultural professionals across the northeastern region of France. With a well-established agricultural tradition, the Grand Est region hosts a diverse array of farming operations—from dairy and beef cattle to cereal production and mixed-crop systems.

This sense of regional pride and identity permeates the event, creating an experience that is both professional and community-oriented.

Livestock Excellence at the Heart of Agrimax

A cornerstone of Agrimax is its livestock-focused programming, which attracts breeders from all corners of France. Livestock competitions, breed exhibitions, and technical workshops form the core of the event’s appeal to cattle, sheep, and goat producers.
