As of 2024, the forecasted production of fresh carps and barbels for human consumption in France is projected to increase significantly, reaching 38.6 metric tons by 2028, up from 24.9 metric tons in 2024. This upswing marks a clear upward trajectory in the capture fisheries sector. The data from 2023 was not provided, but this increase over the five-year forecast suggests robust growth. The year-on-year variations show steady annual increases, indicative of a positive trend in the production volume of these fish species.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and shifting consumer preferences towards alternative sources of protein. Moreover, economic factors, such as shifts in market demand and potential price fluctuations, could also impact future production levels.
