In 2023, Italy led European bluefish production for human consumption at 32.4 euros, followed by Greece at 28.93 euros and Bulgaria at 16.45 euros. Recent trends show considerable growth in Italy and France, each with over 20% yearly growth, while Croatia experienced a significant decrease. Average growth over the last five years suggests robust expansion in Italy and Greece, with more moderate gains for Bulgaria and Portugal, and a slight decline for Spain.
Future trends to watch include the potential for increased sustainability and technological innovations in bluefish capture, which could benefit leading countries and possibly elevate smaller-scale producers in the market dynamics.
