The forecast for total Mediterranean mussel production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a gradual upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 164.3 metric tons in 2024, production is expected to increase by approximately 0.8% per year to reach 168.4 metric tons by 2028. As of 2023, the production level was slightly below this forecast trajectory. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period is projected at 0.6%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental changes, regulatory policies on fishing practices, and innovations in sustainable fisheries management, which could further affect production levels and industry dynamics.
