December 5, 2023 — Global seafood supply is likely to rise next year, with key aquaculture production sectors returning to a period of growth after a turbulent 2023, according to new analysis compiled by the RaboResearch unit of Dutch financial services company Rabobank.
Summarizing key takeaways from Rabobank’s annual production survey with support from the Global Seafood Alliance, the report, “What to Expect in the Aquaculture Industry in 2024,” anticipates worldwide shrimp production will recover in the year ahead after a modest 0.4 percent decline in output in 2023. At the same time, global salmon harvests are likely to rise after two years of flat or declining yields, and various farmed whitefish sectors are expected to see an upturn.
