The import of fresh apples to Canada is forecasted to gradually increase from 237.41 million kilograms in 2024 to 247.93 million kilograms by 2028. When compared to 2023 data, this shows a steady annual increase, reflecting a consistent year-on-year growth pattern. The average annual growth over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, calculated as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), would underscore the sustained demand within the Canadian market.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of changing consumer preferences towards local versus imported produce.
- Potential trade policy adjustments affecting import costs or volumes.
- Advancements in agricultural technology influencing local apple production.
- Economic factors like exchange rates which might alter import competitiveness.
