In 2023, Poland remained the largest producer of whole fresh European flounder in capture fisheries for human consumption in Europe, followed by Germany and the Netherlands. However, Poland experienced an 11.11% decline year-on-year. Denmark (-24.88%) and Lithuania (-20.47%) also saw significant drops. Conversely, Estonia, Portugal, and Spain exhibited growth, with Estonia seeing a 3.94% increase. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) varied across countries, indicating different strategic focuses and challenges in fisheries management.
Looking ahead, countries such as Portugal and Spain, which have shown positive growth, may continue to enhance their production capacities. Environmental factors, sustainability practices, and market demands will influence future trends in European flounder production. Close monitoring of regulatory changes and climate impacts will be critical for predicting long-term shifts in production dynamics.
