The production of gutted fresh cods, hakes, and haddocks in capture fisheries in France is on a declining trajectory for the forecast period spanning 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production stood at 20.72 thousand metric tons, and by 2028, it's forecasted to decrease to 14.73 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year declines illustrate a clear negative trend, with a consistent reduction rate approximately averaging over 6% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last 5 years further emphasizes the declining volume.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from regulatory changes on capture fisheries, consumer preference shifts towards sustainable seafood, and imports potentially filling the gap in local production. Monitoring environmental impacts and climate change effects on fish populations might also influence this trend significantly.
