The European production of fresh tunas, bonitos, and billfishes is led by Spain with 30.41 thousand metric tons, followed by France, Portugal, and Italy, each producing over 10 thousand metric tons. Smaller contributors include Greece and Malta, with others like Croatia and Cyprus playing minor roles.
In 2023, Spain and France saw slight declines, while Portugal experienced a notable decrease. Conversely, Italy and Croatia managed to increase production. Norway displayed a significant surge, contrasted by considerable slumps in Cyprus and Slovenia.
Looking ahead, potential trends to consider include the impact of sustainability initiatives on fishing practices and the effects of climate change. The evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and local products could also reshape production dynamics in the European arena.
