In 2023, Canada imported 600 metric tons of canned blueberries. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts show a steady increase in imports: 610 metric tons in both 2024 and 2025, 620 metric tons in 2026 and 2027, and 630 metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year growth during this period shows slight increases, with a noticeable flat trend in the initial years followed by a moderate uptick in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is around 1%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences toward fresh over canned blueberries.
- Influences of global trade policies and tariffs on import volumes.
- Impact of domestic agricultural policies to boost local blueberry production.
