In 2023, Denmark led European Garfish production in capture fisheries with a significant share, though it experienced a slight decline (-1.4%). Estonia and Poland showed robust growth with increases of 11.4% and 14.89%, respectively. Conversely, Spain, Greece, France, and the United Kingdom faced considerable declines, notably -8.28% in Spain and -27.65% in France. Germany and Lithuania also saw reductions. Italy, Portugal, and Latvia displayed moderate increases, while smaller producers like the Netherlands experienced slight rises. Over the last five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate revealed diverse, volatile trends across countries.
Future trends to watch include the potential for ongoing growth in Estonia and Poland driven by improved practices and market demand. In contrast, declines in previously dominant countries might continue unless addressed through innovation and policy changes. Sustainable practices and market volatility due to environmental factors will play critical roles in shaping the production landscape across Europe.
