The production of whole fresh shellfish in capture fisheries in Italy is set to exhibit a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting with a value of 7.73 thousand Euros per metric ton in 2024, the forecast indicates a gradual increase reaching up to 8.89 thousand Euros per metric ton by 2028. Unfortunately, the value for 2023 is not provided; hence, percentage variations for previous years, particularly 2023, cannot be calculated.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Increased focus on sustainable fishing practices that may affect capture rates and costs.
Potential impacts of climate change and international trade policies on shellfish production and exports.
Consumer demand shifts towards organic and ethically sourced seafood possibly influencing market prices and strategies.
