In 2023, Spain led in European fresh jack and horse mackerels production, capturing markets significantly more than other countries, despite experiencing a notable 19.93% drop from the previous year. Greece showed minor growth at 0.94%, while Croatia experienced a slight increase of 2.47%. The United Kingdom's production saw a decline of 5.93%, whereas France recorded a substantial increase of 20.49%. Cyprus showed the highest growth at 39.25%, although from a smaller base, and Belgium faced a slight decrease of 1.11%.
Looking forward, several trends are worth watching:
- Changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood could influence production methods.
- The impact of climate change on fishery stocks may alter production output across regions, potentially increasing reliance on alternative, sustainable sources.
- Trade policies and economic conditions could shift, affecting international demand and pricing strategies in the European market.
- Technological advancements in fishing and distribution might optimize production efficiency and reduce costs.
