The import of fresh or chilled whole halibut to France shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year decline suggests diminishing demand or increasing self-sufficiency. In the context of 2023, where import volume stood at 746.34 thousand kilograms, the 2024 forecast indicates a significant reduction, continuing through 2028 at diminishing rates.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences leading to reduced demand for imported halibut.
Changes in France’s domestic fishing policies or improvements in local aquaculture might further reduce import needs.
Global trade agreements that could impact import dynamics or prices.
