The forecast for fresh longnosed skate production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK depicts a gradual decline in value, decreasing from 1.41 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 down to 1.2 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. As of 2023, figures stood slightly higher, indicating a persistent downward trend.
Year-on-year variations suggest a consistent decrease, with a significant dip between 2024 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 highlights an average annual decline, stressing diminishing market value over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in environmental policies affecting fishery practices, changes in consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood, and possible regulatory impacts from Brexit negotiations, which could further influence longnosed skate production and pricing.
