In 2023, Canada's consumption of fresh onions and shallots was measured at approximately 359.1 thousand metric tons. The forecasted trend from 2024 to 2028 predicts a steady increase, reaching 384.03 thousand metric tons by 2028. This translates to an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.01% over the five-year period, indicating consistent demand growth. Year-on-year growth percentages from 2024 to 2028 reveal modest annual increments, hinting at stable consumption patterns.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on domestic production, shifts in dietary preferences towards organic produce, and possible influences from international trade policies, which could affect supply chains and pricing dynamics, thereby influencing consumption patterns.
