The forecast for Italy's clams, cockles, and arkshells production in capture fisheries shows a declining trend over the next five years. Starting at 16.68 thousand metric tons in 2024, the production is projected to decrease gradually each year, reaching 15.58 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) decline of approximately 1.67% over the forecast period. The downward trend suggests a consistent reduction in production capacity or demand.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental changes impacting shellfish habitats.
