In 2023, the production of cods, hakes, and haddocks in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at [value of 2023]. From 2024 to 2028, there is a projected declining trend with values decreasing from 30.8 to 22.85 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year percentage decreases are as follows: -6.5% in 2025, -6.9% in 2026, -7.4% in 2027, and -7.8% in 2028. Over these forecasted years, the average annual decline, or compound annual growth rate (CAGR), is expected to be approximately -7.1%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, and innovations in aquaculture that might offset declines in capture fisheries. Monitoring these factors could provide opportunities for stabilizing or even reversing negative trends in production.
