The forecast for whole fresh queen scallop production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The production was approximately 1.17 thousand metric tons in 2024 and is projected to decrease to 0.41735 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a continuous downward trend, with notable year-on-year reductions as the sector experiences challenges. Compared to the previous years, where the data indicates actual production was stable in 2023, these declines highlight significant strategic and environmental pressures.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental factors affecting marine life sustainability.
- Regulatory changes in fishing practices.
- Market demand shifts toward sustainable seafood alternatives.
