Based on the provided data, the total meagre production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France is forecasted to experience a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Compared to the year 2023 production, which was higher, this consecutive annual decrease highlights a downward trend.
Year-on-year changes reflect a consistent decrease, with a drop of 1.98% from 2024 to 2025 and a 1.94% decrease from 2025 to 2026. Continuing, the production volume is predicted to contract by 1.92% from 2026 to 2027 and 1.87% from 2027 to 2028.
Looking over a five-year horizon, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates an average yearly decline of approximately 1.93%, underscoring the steady decrease in production capacity.
Future trends to monitor include potential fluctuations in marine biodiversity due to climate change, economic factors influencing the fishing industry, and shifts towards sustainable fishing practices, all of which could impact the forecast and potentially alter the anticipated steady decline.
