Production is expected to decrease from 575.19 metric tons in 2024 to just 31.21 metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year reduction of approximately 24% in 2025, 31% in 2026, 45% in 2027, and a drastic 81% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is a negative figure, indicating a severe downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes on fisheries, shifts in market demand for seafood, and environmental factors affecting fish populations and biodiversity. Monitoring ecological and economic policies will be crucial in understanding their effects on production levels.
