In 2023, the production of whole fresh white skate fish in Italy's capture fisheries for human consumption was 63.4 metric tons. This production is forecast to decline by 1.1% to 62.7 metric tons in 2024. By 2028, production is predicted to decrease further to 60.3 metric tons, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.25% from 2024 to 2028. Year-on-year, production is expected to decline by approximately 1-1.5% annually during the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental factors affecting skate fish populations.
- Changes in consumer demand and dietary preferences.
- Impact of regulatory measures on fishing practices.
