In France, the forecast for fresh sandeel and sandlance production, intended for human consumption, projects a decline from 2024 to 2028. The predicted production of 58.98 metric tons in 2024 decreases annually, reaching 51.2 metric tons by 2028, indicating a consistent downward trend. In comparison to 2023, the production data from 2024 onwards are forecasted values. Analyzing the year-on-year variations, we observe a persistent reduction in production volumes, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that indicates an average annual decline over these five years.
Future trends to monitor include environmental policies affecting fisheries, shifts in consumer demand for sandeels, and potential innovations in sustainable fishing practices which could impact production volume. Additionally, the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems might further influence these forecasts. Keeping an eye on these trends will be crucial for stakeholders in the sector.
