The forecast for whole fresh Great Mediterranean scallop production in Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase, with production expected to grow from 134.4 metric tons in 2024 to 149.4 metric tons in 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year growth, with the annual growth rate averaging approximately 2.7% over this period. As of 2023, production stood at a lower volume, reflecting the forecasted upward trend in subsequent years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental sustainability practices impacting capture fisheries.
- Impact of climate change on Mediterranean marine ecosystems.
- Policy changes at the EU level affecting fisheries production.
- Fluctuations in market demand possibly driven by dietary trends.
