The forecast for fresh rough ray production in Italy, specifically for capture fisheries aimed at human consumption, anticipates a consistent upward trajectory in value from 2024 through 2028. Commencing at 4.04 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024, projections suggest a progressive increase to 4.77 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. This steady climb indicates robust demand coupled with rising valuations, yielding an approximate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.19% over the forecasted period. Comparatively, the values marked a noted elevation from 2023 levels, indicating positive market dynamics and potential inflations in pricing.
Future trends to monitor include:
