In 2023, the production of fresh European hake in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at 11.5 thousand metric tons. The forecast for the period from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase, with production expected to reach 11.72 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.26% to 0.33%. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be around 0.35%.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer demand due to dietary shifts, potential impacts of environmental regulations on fishing practices, and technological advancements in fishing techniques. These factors could influence the sustainability and volume of hake production in France.
