In 2023, Slovenia led European capture fisheries for flounders, halibuts, and soles, surpassing Italy and France. Both Italy and France showed year-on-year growth, particularly France with a significant increase. Notable growth was also observed in Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania, and Estonia. Conversely, substantial declines were evident in Greece, Poland, and Bulgaria, reflecting diverse dynamics across Europe. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) remains crucial to understand the five-year performance, underscoring progressive nations against those with declining fisheries.
Future trends to watch include the resilience of key countries like Slovenia and Italy in maintaining value, the sustainability of Belgium's growth, and Lithuania's substantial increase as a potential market disruptor. Environmental and economic policies will increasingly shape production levels.
