In 2023, Italy's capture fisheries for fresh Thornback Ray produced 394 metric tons. The forecast indicates a steady annual decline in production from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 367.4 metric tons to 260.5 metric tons. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 7.4% in 2024, 7.4% in 2025, 8.6% in 2026, 8.5% in 2027, and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -7.9% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies, shifts in consumer demand, and sustainability practices, which could influence production levels further. Monitoring these factors may provide insights into stabilizing or reversing the downward trend.
