The harvested area for roots and tubers in Canada is projected to decline from 94.65 thousand hectares in 2024 to 64.26 thousand hectares by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 8.3% from 2024 to 2025, 8.8% from 2025 to 2026, 9.5% from 2026 to 2027, and 10.3% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is anticipated to be negative, at around -8.9% annually.
Looking ahead, future trends that should be closely observed include the potential impacts of climate change and changing agricultural practices on crop yields, as well as shifts in consumer demand that may influence planting decisions. Additionally, trade policies and international market dynamics may also play a significant role in shaping the harvested area for roots and tubers in Canada.
