From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady decline in the import of fresh or chilled cabbage lettuce to Canada, going from 80.289 million kilograms to 73.992 million kilograms. Comparing this trend to 2023, the slight decrease over the years reflects a potential decrease in demand or increased local production. The year-on-year percentage decrease in imports suggests the market is gradually contracting, with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a negative average yearly variation.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in consumer demand for locally sourced produce.
- Impact of trade agreements on import tariffs and competitiveness.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative leafy greens.
- Climate change effects on domestic agricultural productivity.
