In 2023, the import volume of fresh melons, musk, and cantaloupes in Canada was 74.7 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast shows a steady increase in imports from 75.1 to 76.97 thousand metric tons, with year-on-year growth rates around 0.65% to 0.58%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately 0.6%, reflecting a consistent upward trend in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on domestic melon production, potential changes in consumer preferences towards locally sourced produce, and shifts in trade policies that may affect import volumes.
