In 2023, France led the European conger production for human consumption, accounting for 51.99% of the total share. Spain and Portugal followed with 25.53% and 13.97%, respectively. The United Kingdom, Italy, and Belgium had minimal shares, with under 2% each. Notable increases were observed in the Netherlands, growing by 15.84%, and Norway, by 7.71%, despite overall declines in key producers like France and Spain.
Looking ahead to 2024, significant contributions are anticipated to continue from France, Spain, and Portugal, but watch for potential growth in smaller markets, notably the Netherlands and Norway, as they gradually increase their share.
