The forecast for fresh broccoli production in the U.S. from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decrease, starting at 1.6 billion pounds in 2024 and declining to 1.52 billion pounds by 2028. The production in 2023 was approximately stable compared to 2024, as the latter is the first year of forecasted data.

Year-on-year, the volume of production is expected to decline by approximately 1.25% annually. This consistent decline results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years of approximately -1.25%.

Trends to watch for in the future include:

Potential impacts of climate change on crop yields and production consistency.
Changing consumer preferences towards locally sourced or organic produce.
Advancements in agricultural practices and technologies that may enhance production efficiency.
Economic factors affecting farming costs, including labor and materials.
