In 2023, Italy led European total mullets production with 1.86 thousand metric tons, followed by Greece at 1.44 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year, notable declines were observed in Italy and Greece at -6.43% and -5.72% respectively. Ireland showed significant growth in the same year with an increase of 20.47%, while Slovenia saw a modest rise of 7.12%. Conversely, the United Kingdom and Cyprus experienced sharp declines, at -15.39% and -13.0% respectively, continuing a trend of reduced production.
Future trends to watch include the potential for Ireland and Slovenia to further expand their market shares, given their recent growth. Italy and Greece might need to address the challenges leading to their production declines. Additionally, ongoing ecological and economic factors could further influence the dynamics of mullet capture fisheries across these nations.
