In 2023, Italy led European mullet production with 1.86 thousand metric tons, followed by Greece at 1.44. Croatia, United Kingdom, and Ireland produced significantly less, with Croatia reaching just under 0.1. Although Ireland saw a notable 20.42% increase from the previous year, Italy and Greece experienced declines of 6.43% and 5.72% respectively. The UK faced a sharp decrease of 15.39%, whereas Slovenia showed a positive trend with a 7.12% growth. Over the past five years, production trends varied with fluctuating compound annual growth rates in different countries.
Future trends to watch include potential rebounds in Italy and Greece, driven by sustainable practices and demand for seafood. An increased focus on eco-friendly production and alignment with EU fisheries policies may further influence multilateral fishery agreements, impacting both production volumes and fishing quotas.
