The production of herrings, sardines, and anchovies in France's capture fisheries for human consumption is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, production is projected to be 25.51 thousand metric tons, decreasing each year to 22.14 thousand metric tons by 2028. As of 2023, the production stood at approximately the same level as forecasted for 2024, indicating a negative trend over the forecasted years.
Year-over-year, production is forecasted to decline, with the greatest percentual decrease envisioned from 2023 to 2028. This trajectory indicates a consistent reduction in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of climate change on fish populations and capture rates.
- Regulatory changes impacting fisheries and sustainability practices.
- Market demand shifts influenced by dietary trends and alternative protein sources.
