The forecast for the Fresh Northern Quahog production in the UK's capture fisheries indicates a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 102.43 thousand euros in 2024 and rising to 114.89 thousand euros in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 3% annually. For context, in 2023, the production value was somewhat lower, reflecting a recovery post-pandemic recovery period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, which could affect quahog populations and supply.
- Regulatory changes in fisheries management, possibly influencing harvesting limits.
- Market demand shifts due to consumer preferences or changes in global trade dynamics.
