Italy's whole fresh sardine production in capture fisheries is on a declining trend. In 2023, production was observed at 12.18 thousand metric tons. Forecasts project a steady annual decrease in production from 11.31 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 7.97 thousand metric tons by 2028.
Year-on-year changes indicate:
- -7.5% from 2024 to 2025
- -8.0% from 2025 to 2026
- -8.7% from 2026 to 2027
