The forecasted production of gutted fresh whelk in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 0.6 metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 0.4 metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the production was slightly higher, setting the expectation for a continued decline.
Year-on-year variations compared to 2023 indicate a consistent decrease in production, emphasizing a downward trajectory. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average decline per year, reinforcing concerns about sustainability in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations, shifts in consumer demand towards alternative seafood sources, and sustainability practices in fisheries management. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for predicting and adapting to changes in production trends.
