Looking ahead, trends to watch include the impact of sustainable aquaculture practices, technological advancements in harvesting and processing, and shifting consumer preferences towards healthier and environmentally friendly products. Additionally, geopolitical factors and trade agreements will continue to influence the dynamics of mollusc exports.
