In 2023, France's whole fresh Atlantic herring production for human consumption stood at approximately 3.92 thousand metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 3.91 to 3.87 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year variation reveals a consistent decrease of about 0.26% annually over the forecast period, indicating a slight downward trend.
Future trends to watch include:
- Environmental factors impacting herring populations and fishing quotas.
- Shifts in consumer demand or preferences that might affect production levels.
- Regulatory changes in capture fisheries that could influence production trends.
