In 2023, Norway led the European fresh picked dogfish production with 43.89 metric tons, albeit with a decline of 18.28% from the previous year. Bulgaria experienced significant growth, increasing by 36.91% to reach 22.11 metric tons. Italy remained stable at 20.19 metric tons, while Croatia saw a modest rise of 4.85% to 12.25 metric tons. In contrast, Denmark and the Netherlands witnessed slight declines of 0.19% and 18.72%, respectively. The data suggests that Germany and Slovenia had negligible contributions, with Germany declining by 4.99% and Slovenia remaining unchanged.
Future trends to watch include:
- Bulgaria's continued expansion in production capacity, potentially challenging Norway's leading position if current trends persist.
- Italy's consistent performance might position it as a stable source for dogfish, potentially increasing if market demands rise.
- Denmark's minor decline suggests a need for market strategies to counteract possible further reductions in production share.
