The import of fresh or chilled witloof chicory to Canada is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 100.9 thousand kilograms in 2024, the volume drops to 52.91 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a cumulative negative trend, largely driven by decreasing consumer demand or market shifts. The year-on-year percentage variations indicate a consistent decrease each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is indicative of a strong negative growth trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards domestic or alternative leafy greens, fluctuations in international trade policies affecting imports, and broader economic factors impacting purchasing power and market demand for imported produce in Canada.
