As of 2023, the production of whole fresh common torpedo for human consumption in Italy stood at 1.7 metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, starting at 1.5 metric tons and reaching 0.9 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady decrease, with negative growth rates each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years reflects this downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental impacts on fisheries and their potential to exacerbate production declines.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options.
- Potential policy changes in fisheries management affecting catch limits.
