As of 2023, France’s total poor cod production for human consumption was less than 379.2 metric tons. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a steady decline in production: 379.2 metric tons in 2024, decreasing to 322.6 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease shows a steady decline of around 3.8%, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -3.2% over the five-year period. This indicates a consistent downward trend in poor cod production.
Future trends to watch for include shifts towards sustainable fishing practices, potential regulatory changes, and alterations in market demand driven by consumer preferences for sustainably sourced seafood. Additionally, environmental factors such as climate change could further impact marine ecosystems and subsequently, cod populations.
