In 2023, France led European gutted fresh pollack production with 32.23 metric tons, experiencing a decline of 4.65% year-on-year. The United Kingdom followed with 26.23 metric tons, down by 4.07%. Denmark and Ireland posted slight decreases at 1.62% and 3.84%, respectively. Norway produced 11.39 metric tons, a 5.12% reduction. Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Sweden contributed smaller shares, with only the Netherlands and Germany showing positive growth, notably Germany at 30.13%. Over a 5-year period, expect a continuing decline with modest growth in smaller producers like the Netherlands and Germany.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in fishing practices, regulatory changes affecting catch limits, and climate impact on pollack populations. The shift towards sustainable fisheries might alter production distribution among countries, with potential increased contributions by smaller producers responding to altered market conditions and opportunities.
