In 2023, France's capture fisheries produced 10.75 thousand metric tons of fresh tunas, bonitos, and billfishes. Forecasts for the years 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline, with production decreasing from 10.69 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 10.43 thousand metric tons in 2028. This downward trend indicates an overall contraction in production, with slight year-on-year decreases. Analyzing the five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reveals an average annual decrease. The production is expected to decrease by about 0.5-0.7% each year.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from climate change and sustainable fishing practices, which may affect fish populations and capture fisheries output. Regulatory changes and consumer demand for sustainable seafood could also influence this sector's future production levels.
