In 2023, Cyprus led European production of whole fresh red mullet per metric ton in capture fisheries for human consumption, valued at 16.01 thousand euros, followed by Portugal and Malta. Year-on-year changes from 2023 showed that Portugal and France had notable increases of over 5%, while Italy and the Netherlands saw declines, with the Netherlands experiencing a significant 34.49% decrease. Other countries like Greece and Slovenia saw moderate growth, whereas Ireland and Spain remained fairly stable. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate varied, indicating a dynamic market influenced by regional and global factors.
Future trends to watch include recovery potential for declining markets like the Netherlands and Italy and how sustainable fishing practices and regulatory changes could impact production. There will be an interest in diversification of supply sources and potential technological advancements in fishing techniques that could further influence production values across these regions.
