The forecast for alive fresh sole fish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Beginning at 13.43 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024, the value decreases steadily to 12.1 by 2028. This represents a downward trend with an average year-on-year reduction of approximately 2.5% across the five years, highlighting a gradual decrease in the economic value per metric ton. In 2023, the values were slightly higher than in 2024, indicating the start of the declining trend.
Future trends to watch include the potential impacts of environmental regulations on capture fisheries, changes in consumer demand for sole fish, and advancements in aquaculture that might substitute capture production, affecting price dynamics. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding the continued efficacy and sustainability of sole fish production in France.
