The import of prepared or preserved palm hearts to Canada is projected to decline from 1.4944 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.3672 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent decrease year-on-year, averaging around 1.8% annually over the forecast period. As we are in 2024, the actual data for 2023 stood at higher volumes compared to projected values for 2024, indicating the start of a downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of sustainability practices and climate change on palm heart production.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards locally produced or alternative products.
Trade policies and tariffs that may affect import dynamics.
