The forecasted trend for the production value of Whole Fresh Rays, Stingrays, and Mantas in Italian capture fisheries between 2024 and 2028 shows a gradual decline from €2.19 thousand per metric ton in 2024 to €2.0 thousand per metric ton in 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.3%. Given that the value stood higher in 2023, this consistent downturn reflects industry challenges or possible market shifts.
Looking forward, key trends to watch include environmental regulations affecting fishing practices, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, and competitive pressures from alternative or imported species. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders in the Italian fisheries market.
