In 2023, Canada's commercial production of table grapes was approximately 2.35 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline, moving from 2.31 to 2.16 thousand metric tons. This indicates a steady decrease in production with an average annual decrease of 2.03% from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, each year shows a year-on-year reduction in output by 1.73% from 2024 to 2025, 1.76% from 2025 to 2026, 1.35% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.82% from 2027 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increasing impacts of climate change which may further hinder production efficiency and capacity.
- Technological advancements in agricultural practices that could mitigate production declines.
- Potential policy changes impacting agricultural practices and incentives in Canada.
