The forecast for gutted fresh surmullet production in France indicates a slight decline in value from 6.32 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 to 6.03 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. With a baseline from 2023 at a comparable level, this showcases consistent depreciation in value year-on-year. The forecast from 2024 onwards projects an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of negative nature over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of changing capture fishery regulations, climate effects on marine life, and evolving consumer demand for fresh fish in the market, which could further influence production values.
