In 2023, France led European whole fresh Atlantic salmon production in capture fisheries for human consumption with substantial value, followed by Germany and Spain. Germany and Spain showed significant growth of 69.88% and 43.65% respectively, while the UK and Portugal experienced slight declines. Despite being a global leader, Norway's growth was modest at 6.96%. The Baltic countries like Estonia and Lithuania also showed steady increases in production values. Notably, Sweden saw a decrease of 6.39% in its production value.
Looking ahead, there is an expectation of sustained growth in countries like Germany and Spain. However, Brexit's impact on the UK and environmental policies across Europe could influence production. Sustainability practices and technological advancements in aquaculture could reshape production dynamics, especially for Norway.
