In 2023, the production of fresh cockles in capture fisheries in Italy stood at 18.3 Metric Tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a slight downward trend, with production expected to decrease marginally to 18.2 Metric Tons from 2026 onward. The year-on-year variation shows a stable production level with a slight decrease of 0.5% anticipated in 2026, remaining consistent through 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to demonstrate negligible decline, reflecting stability in the production levels with minor fluctuations.
Future trends to watch for include changes in marine policies and environmental conditions that may impact marine capture efficiency. Additionally, shifts in demand for seafood products, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and any significant market events could influence production forecasts beyond 2028.
