The forecasted value of fresh Great Atlantic scallop production in capture fisheries in France is set at 2.79 thousand euros per metric ton for both 2024 and 2025, showing no variation from the previous year's value in 2023. From 2026 onwards, a slight downward trend begins with values decreasing incrementally each year: 2.78 in 2026, 2.77 in 2027, and 2.76 in 2028. This equates to a year-on-year variation of approximately -0.36% annually. Overall, though the change is minimal, it indicates a slight declining trend in the value per metric ton over the five-year forecast period.
Future Trends to Watch:
- Changes in global demand for seafood that may influence market prices.
- Environmental and regulatory factors affecting scallop fishing quotas in France.
- Technological advancements in fishing methods which could impact production costs.
- Economic conditions such as inflation which may affect the profitability of scallop fishing.
