In 2023, France's flat oyster production in capture fisheries was marked at 51.2 metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 highlight a consistent decline, dropping from 46.7 to 29 metric tons. This represents consecutive year-on-year decreases of 9.64%, 10.42%, 11.64%, and 13.17% from 2024 to 2028, resulting in a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -10.3% over five years.
Looking ahead, potential factors influencing future trends include:
- Environmental pressures impacting oyster habitats.
- Regulatory changes in fishing quotas and environmental protections.
- Market demand stability or shifts towards alternative seafood sources.
- Technological advancements in sustainable aquaculture methods.
