In 2023, France led European Fresh Sand Sole production in capture fisheries with a valuation of 1.9193 million Euros, followed by Portugal at 0.75278 million Euros. Spain and Belgium recorded values of 0.36983 and 0.29735 million Euros, respectively. Notably, Portugal and Spain saw strong year-on-year growth, with increases of 8.92% and 10%. In contrast, Belgium experienced a decline of 8.18%. The Netherlands demonstrated significant growth at 25.62%, despite having a smaller overall value.

Looking ahead, factors such as climate change, regulatory changes, and evolving consumer preferences are crucial to watch. France is expected to maintain its lead, but trends suggest potential growth opportunities in the Netherlands and continued challenges for Belgium. Sustainability measures and advanced fisheries management will likely influence future production volumes and values.
