In 2023, the production value of whole fresh silversides and sand smelts in capture fisheries in Italy stood as a reference point for subsequent forecasts. From 2024 to 2028, the data indicates a gradual decline in production value per metric ton, starting at 4.28 thousand euros in 2024 and decreasing to 3.91 thousand euros by 2028.
- The year-on-year percentage variation shows a consistent downward trend, signifying potential challenges in sustaining production value.
- Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate indicates a moderate but steady decline in value.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations, changes in consumer preferences, and potential shifts in fishery management policies, all of which could influence production values and sustainability in the sector.
