The forecast for Sardinella production in France's capture fisheries for human consumption shows a slight decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 3.7 Metric Tons in 2024, the production is expected to gradually decrease to 3.4 Metric Tons by 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a consistent decrease of approximately 2.7% until 2027, holding steady at 3.5 Metric Tons, and then another slight decline of 2.9% by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual decrease of around 2.0% over these five years. In 2023, the production stood at 3.8 Metric Tons, slightly higher than 2024's forecast.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fish populations, changes in fisheries policies within the European Union, and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, all of which can significantly affect production levels. Additionally, advancements in fishing technology and sustainable practices could stabilize or increase future yields.
