The production of gutted fresh albacore for human consumption in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. It decreases from 128.7 metric tons in 2024 to 122 metric tons in 2028. This marks a year-on-year contraction roughly between 1.3% and 2.0%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.3% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in fishing regulations and environmental policies that could impact albacore stocks and fishing practices.
- Consumer preferences shifting towards sustainably-sourced seafood which might pressure producers towards more sustainable fishing methods.
- Technological advancements in fishery operations that may improve efficiency and affect production volumes.
