The whole fresh sole fish production in France's capture fisheries is forecasted to decrease from 1.38 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.16 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decline of approximately 3.6% between 2024 and 2025, 4.5% between 2025 and 2026, 3.9% between 2026 and 2027, and 4.9% between 2027 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2024-2028 is a negative 4.3%, indicating a steady downward trend.
Future trends to watch include changing regulations affecting capture fisheries, climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, and shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and locally sourced seafood. These factors could influence production levels and strategies in France's fisheries sector.
