The yield of raspberries in Canada began with moderate growth between 2013 and 2016, peaking in 2014 with a noticeable year-on-year increase of 15.06%. However, from 2017 onwards, yields have been gradually declining. The yield was 49.43 Thousand Hectograms Per Hectare in 2023. Over the last two years, the year-on-year variations were minimal, reflecting a stabilization in yield. Despite the apparent stability, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past five years averaged at -1.04%, indicating a slight overall decline.
Looking forward, forecasts predict a continuous slight decline in yield, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of -0.2% through to 2028. Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in agriculture, changes in weather patterns, and shifts in crop management practices that could potentially mitigate the downward trend or enhance yields. Monitoring these variables will be crucial for understanding and responding to the evolving raspberry yield landscape in Canada.
