In 2023, Canada's re-import of pears and quinces was documented at 3.18 thousand kilograms. Forecasts indicate a consistent decrease over the next five years, beginning with 2.81 thousand kilograms in 2024. This downward trend results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -15% per year from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year declines suggest a significant reduction in volume, reflecting a shift away from re-importing these fruits.
Future trends to consider include:
- The potential impact of domestic pear and quince production on reducing re-import demand.
- Changing consumer preferences towards locally-sourced produce, influencing import volumes.
- International trade policies and market conditions affecting Canada's import strategies.
