The import of edible fish flours, meals, and pellets to France showed a clear downward trend over the period from 2016 to 2020, with import volumes decreasing from 381.07 thousand kilograms to 123.99 thousand kilograms. This signifies a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of decline, averaging a substantial decrease per year over these five years.
As of 2023, the volume was not specified, but the continuation of such a downward trend indicates diminished import levels, particularly from historical figures. Moving forward, key trends to watch will include changes in global supply chains, developments in domestic aquaculture that may reduce import reliance, and shifting consumer preferences towards plant-based and sustainably sourced seafood alternatives. Adjustments in trade policies and environmental regulations may also impact future import patterns.
