The forecast for whole fresh striped Venus production in Italy's capture fisheries indicates a continuous decline from 2024 to 2028. The data shows a drop in volume from 12.54 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 10.83 thousand metric tons by 2028. Examining the year-on-year variations, a consistent decrease is evident, highlighting a diminishing supply trend in the market. Given that we are in 2024, this follows a similar trend observed in 2023, reflecting ongoing challenges in the industry. The compound annual growth rate over this period points to a steady contraction in production volumes.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental and regulatory impacts on fisheries.
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices.
- Changes in consumer demand for striped Venus clams.
