The forecast for Manila clam production in capture fisheries in the UK indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The production value is expected to decrease from 201.4 metric tons in 2024 to 193.81 metric tons by 2028. Given that production was 203.5 metric tons in 2023, this projection shows a continuous downward trend.
The year-on-year variation highlights a consistent decrease as follows:
- 2025: -0.98%
- 2026: -0.95%
- 2027: -0.95%
- 2028: -0.94%
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 illustrates an annual average reduction of approximately 0.94% in Manila clam production.
Future trends to monitor include environmental policies affecting capture fisheries, climate change impacts on habitats, and potential technological advances in sustainable fishing practices. These factors may significantly influence production volumes.
