In 2023, Ireland led European whole fresh Atlantic cod production for human consumption in terms of value per metric ton, followed closely by France and Lithuania. Significant year-on-year growth was observed in Lithuania (21.12%), while Poland achieved the highest growth rate (30.06%). Conversely, Denmark (-18.47%) and the Netherlands (-32.23%) faced notable declines. Over the past five years, overall production trends have been mixed, with fluctuations reflecting varying capture fisheries strategies and market dynamics.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential recovery in underperforming markets such as Denmark and the Netherlands.
- Continued growth in Ireland, France, and Poland due to strong fisheries management and market demand.
- Increasing pressure on sustaining fish stocks might lead to strategic shifts in capture fisheries across Europe.
