In 2023, the alfonsinos production for human consumption in France's capture fisheries stood at 3.0 metric tons. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in production, with a decrease from 2.8 metric tons in 2024 to 2.2 metric tons in 2028. The yearly percentage decrease from 2024 to 2027 is approximately -7.14% on average annually, reflecting a shrinking production trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period also highlights this downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental policies on fishery practices and potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood. Monitoring the regulatory environment and advancements in aquaculture could provide insights into the industry's ability to stabilize or reverse the decline in wild-capture production.
