Overview

• FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs called nationwide actions for September 25–26, with early symbolic moves including a Buffalo Grill blockade near Vesoul, manure dumped in central Dijon and a gathering at the Plérin pork market.
• Friday’s plans include supermarket checks, rallies at prefectures, displays of imported products deemed noncompliant and a tractor demonstration at Versailles, with localized traffic slowdowns expected.
• Union leaders frame the protests against what they call unfair import standards and the EU‑Mercosur agreement, also citing U.S. tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on wines and other goods.
• Mobilisation remains limited and regionally varied during harvest time, as Coordination rurale seeks a meeting with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and the Confédération paysanne readies a Paris protest on October 14.
• The European Commission opened ratification this month after proposing reinforced safeguard clauses on September 3, leaving approval by member states and the European Parliament still pending.
