In 2023, the US imported 380 million kilograms of dried shelled peas. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady year-on-year increase in imports, starting at 393.51 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 457.79 million kilograms by 2028. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is approximately 3.1%, reflecting consistent growth in demand or necessity for importing these products. Notably, the year-on-year growth aligns with a trend of increased reliance on imported agricultural goods.
Future trends to watch for include changes in US agricultural policy, consumer dietary shifts towards plant-based proteins, and global trade dynamics which may impact supply chains and import volumes. Additionally, climate change effects on agriculture, both domestically and internationally, could further influence import needs.
