In 2023, the production of alive fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles for human consumption in France was 1 metric ton. Forecasts from 2024 to 2027 show a steady production level at 1 metric ton annually, with a slight increase to 1.1 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year percentage increase in 2028 is 10%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the 5-year period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 1.92%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in consumer demand for fresh seafood could influence production levels, potentially driving efforts to increase sustainable fishing practices.
- Regulatory impacts and environmental policies in the European Union may affect fishing quotas and production capabilities.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture might offer alternative methods to increase yield efficiency.
