The forecast for Total Thicklip Grey Mullet production in France shows a decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 477.05 metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 444.75 metric tons by 2028. These figures represent consistent year-on-year declines with the percentage decrease averaging about 1.4% annually. From 2023, this follows previous patterns observed, suggesting a downtrend in production availability for human consumption. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a continual reduction over a five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include environmental and regulatory impacts on fishing practices, changes in consumer demand, and potential shifts towards aquaculture to supplement declining capture fisheries. Sustainability measures may directly influence production levels.
