Become a juror for the Concours général agricole and train with INAO
A veritable showcase for French agricultural and gastronomic excellence for over 150 years, the Concours général agricole rewards and promotes the best French products at the Salon international de l'Agriculture. Every year, some 400 jurors attend training courses run by INAO staff, benefiting from the skills and know-how of our experts. Why not join us?
More than 70% of the products entered in the CGA bear one of the official signs of identification of quality and origin (SIQO). Becoming a juror for the Concours Général Agricole requires training. The CGA offers a vast program of training courses in tasting and sensory analysis. They enable volunteers at all levels and throughout the country to acquire or develop tasting skills, from initiation to perfection, to evaluate products.
