The forecast for alive fresh cockle production value in capture fisheries for human consumption in France from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase: maintaining stability at 1.16 thousand euros per metric ton for 2024 and 2025, followed by slight increases to 1.17 in 2026 and 2027, and further to 1.18 in 2028. In 2023, the actual value stood at 1.15. This represents steady but modest growth with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) expected to be approximately 0.5% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch include regulatory impacts on fisheries, sustainability practices affecting stock availability, and potential influence of climate change on bivalve habitats, which could all affect production and market prices.
