An analysis by Impresapesca Coldiretti reveals a significant shift in the scallop market in 2021, largely due to the Brexit fishing agreement between the UK and France. The agreement has led to a 520% increase in French scallops imported to Italy, while imports from the UK, which was previously Italy's main supplier, have seen a ¾ decrease. This change is attributed to a licensing dispute for French fishermen in the English Channel post-Brexit. The report highlights Italy's reliance on imported fish, with 2 out of 3 consumed being imported, and emphasizes the potential of the fishing sector for environmental, food, and employment recovery in Italy. However, the sector's economic sustainability requires more attention, as the Italian navy has seen a 35% loss of boats and 18,000 jobs in the past 30 years.
