In 2024, Italy's forecast for whole fresh European eel production in capture fisheries for human consumption shows a value of 8.28 thousand euros per metric ton, down from the previous actual figure of 8.5 in 2023. The trend indicates a steady decline with a year-on-year variation of -3.4% in 2025, -3.38% in 2026, -3.49% in 2027, and another -3.49% forecasted for 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a declining trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes affecting the capture fisheries sector and the influence of conservation efforts on eel populations, which may affect supply and drive prices. Additionally, changes in market demand both domestically and internationally could further influence pricing dynamics and production viability in Italy.
