The production of whole fresh stingray in capture fisheries in France is showing a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 0.7 metric tons in 2024, the forecast anticipates a decline to 0.3 metric tons by 2028, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 16.7% between each sequential year. In 2023, the production stood slightly above the 2024 forecast at 0.8 metric tons. This decline indicates the industry's shrinking scale likely due to regulatory restrictions or environmental factors.
In terms of a 5-year forecast from 2024, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a significant downward trajectory. Stakeholders should watch for potential regulatory changes, environmental impacts, or shifts in consumer demand that could further impact production levels. Adaptations in sustainable fishing practices might also emerge as a response to this declining trend.
