The forecast for fresh edible crab production in France's capture fisheries suggests a dramatic decline over the next five years. In 2023, actual production was around 935 metric tons, providing a context for the projected figures starting in 2024. Predictions indicate a decrease from 911.06 metric tons in 2024 to just 35.16 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations exhibit significant reductions, with the most dramatic drop forecasted between 2027 and 2028. A compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) points to a steep average decline over this five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in government fishing regulations that might impact production capacity.
Environmental factors such as climate change affecting crab populations.
Advancements in sustainable fishing practices that could influence future yield and market dynamics.
