The chicken supply in Canada stood at approximately 1.58 million metric tons in 2023. The forecast predicts a modest, steady growth in supply from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 1.61 to 1.71 million metric tons. Year-over-year growth rates are expected to average around 0.6% to 0.8%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period projected to be around 1.6%. This consistent growth trend suggests a stable demand for chicken in the Canadian market.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based proteins, changes in trade policies, and the impacts of environmental sustainability initiatives on poultry production practices.
