The export of powder skim milk from Canada saw a significant increase from 2013 until it peaked dramatically in 2017. The most substantial year-on-year growth occurred in 2017 at over 203%. However, post-2017, the trend reversed with notable declines, particularly a 52.54% drop in 2021. By 2023, powder skim milk exports reached 30.53 thousand metric tons, marking a modest recovery with a 2.55% rise from 2022, amidst an overall decreasing trend from the prior peak. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates stabilization, with an annual growth rate of almost zero, suggesting minimal future fluctuations.
