In 2023, the value of production for whole fresh Scomber mackerels in Italy stood at a point before the first forecasted figure. From 2024 onwards, production value is expected to increase steadily: by 11% to reach 3.83 thousand euros per metric ton in 2025, 9.9% in 2026, 9% in 2027, and 8.1% by 2028. This indicates a consistent upward trend in production value, pointing towards potential factors such as improved demand, optimized fishing techniques, or inflationary pressures.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting fishing practices.
- Market demand shifts influenced by consumer preferences or alternative sources of protein.
- Environmental impacts on fish populations, possibly altering supply.
