In 2023, the total leaping mullet production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was recorded at 47 metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline, with figures dropping from 44.6 metric tons in 2024 to 35 metric tons in 2028. This trend translates to a year-on-year decrease ranging between 5.4% and 6.4%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecast period is approximately -6%, highlighting a persistent downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental factors on fish stocks, changes in French fisheries policy, and consumer demand for leaping mullet as sustainability and dietary preferences evolve. Increased awareness and actions around conservation and sustainable practices might significantly affect production levels moving forward.
