Facing dozens of police officers inside the fair, the farmers shouted and booed, calling for the French president’s resignation and using expletives aimed at him.

“This is our home!“, they shouted, as lines of French CRS riot police sought to contain the demonstration.

Macron, who is having breakfast with French farmers’ union leaders, was scheduled to visit the fair afterwards.

Farmers have been protesting across Europe, calling for better income and less bureaucracy and denouncing unfair competition from cheap imported goods.

The Paris farm show is a major event in France, attracting about 600,000 visitors over nine days.

French farmers earlier this month largely suspended protests that included blocking highways and dumping manure in front of public buildings after the prime minister, Gabriel Attal, promised new measures worth €400m (£342m).
