In 2023, Poland dominated European whole fresh flounder production in capture fisheries, with a significant lead compared to other countries. The Netherlands, Germany, and Latvia followed, albeit with a considerable gap. Notable decreases were observed in Latvia and Denmark, experiencing notable year-on-year declines of -26.46% and -65.18% respectively. Conversely, Poland exhibited resilience and slight growth, with a 1.81% increase.
Looking forward, Poland's dominant position is expected to persist. Watch for potential growth in flounder capture by smaller producers like Portugal, and continued volatility in Denmark and Sweden, influencing overall European production dynamics.
