In 2023, Portugal led European production of whole fresh two-banded seabream for human consumption at 266.31 metric tons, despite a -2.23% decline from the previous year. Spain followed with a 9.23% increase to 211.4 metric tons. Italy showed a decrease of -4.48% to 122.2 metric tons. Croatia, France, and Malta recorded positive growth rates of 1.73%, 28.39%, and 5.09% respectively, although starting from smaller bases. Cyprus experienced a significant decline of -10.13%, while Slovenia maintained a stable output.
Future trends to watch include:
- Portugal's declining trend, which could reshape the production hierarchy if continued.
- Spain's potential to surpass Portugal, given its recent growth trajectory.
- Italy's persistent decline might impact its competitive stance in the region.
- Emphasis on sustainable practices could influence production changes across all countries.
