Sales of fish and seafood saw strong growth in volume terms in 2025 with pelagic fish such as sardines and mackerel remaining highly popular. Increasing awareness of the health benefits of regularly consuming fish, especially oily fish, also continued to fuel demand. However, with a further decline in the amount of fish being caught, prices continued to rise, which placed limits on growth. Moving forward, the focus is on developing local aquaculture and expanding the local fishing fleet.
