Article Abstract:

France produced 106,500 tonnes of canned fish in 1997 in half-gross weight, compared with 114,100 tonnes in 1996. This increase is due to the production of herring, which came to 3,200 tonnes compared with 1,900 tonnes in 1996, and 'other products' 3,200 tonnes compared with 1,800 tonnes in 1996, with the production of other product categories dropped from 58,600 tonnes to 54,600 tonnes for tuna, from 18,500 tonnes to 15,600 tonnes for sardines, and from 33,300 tonnes to 29,800 tonnes for mackerel. However improved value compensated for this decline. The apparent sales of seafood products dropped from 271,700 tonnes half-gross in 1996 to 236,500 tonnes in 1997, while consumption slipped from 4.7 kilograms per capita per year in 1996 to 4.1 kilograms per capita per year in 1997. French shipments dropped from 115,000 tonnes half-gross in 1996 to 107,500 tonnes in 1997. French canned seafood product imports dropped from 217,700 tonnes half-gross in 1996 to 199,800 tonnes in 1997, while French exports rose from 61,100 tonnes in 1996 to 70,800 tonnes in 1997. The Ivory Coast is by far the leading tropical tuna supplier for France, representing 52% of the volume, followed by Senegal.

The development of production varies widely according to product category. While cooked poultry meat production represented 20,284 tonnes, up 22.4%, and ready meals represented 170,729 tonnes, up 106%, the production of mixed dry sausages fell to 7,139 tonnes, plummeting 20.7%, while the production of canned beef dropped to 18,192 tonnes, down 13.6%.
