In 2023, Spain led European plaice production in capture fisheries, followed by Portugal and Sweden. Most countries experienced growth, with France and Poland showing significant increases in value by over 9% and 11%, respectively. Germany and Ireland saw declines, highlighting variable regional dynamics within Europe. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over five years shows that most countries are steadily increasing their production value, with only a few exceptions like Germany.
Future trends to watch include shifts in EU fisheries policies, sustainability practices, and climatic changes affecting marine ecosystems. These factors could heavily influence production dynamics and economic value for all the countries involved.
