In 2024, the Mediterranean Starry Ray production in Italy is forecasted at 2.72 thousand euros per metric ton, with a declining trend through 2028, reaching 2.28. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease from 2025 to 2028, primarily driven by factors like sustainability practices and fishing regulations. The compound annual growth rate over the five-year period projects an average annual decline.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems and fish populations.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood options.
- Regulatory changes and their impact on fishing quotas and practices.
