In 2023, the re-import of fresh or chilled tomatoes to Canada stood at a considerably lower value compared to the forecasted figures starting from 2024. The forecasted values show a steady increase year-on-year, with re-import values growing from 878.45 thousand USD in 2024 to 1032.3 thousand USD by 2028. This reflects a consistent upward trend in demand or necessity for re-imports of this commodity.
Year-on-year variations suggest moderate growth, with a CAGR indicating a healthy upward trend over the five-year period. The trend highlights a sustained need for fresh or chilled tomatoes despite domestic production and alternative import sources.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in domestic production efficiency, fluctuating agricultural policies, climate impacts affecting local tomato crops, and changing consumer preferences towards locally sourced versus re-imported produce. These factors could significantly influence market dynamics and alter forecast projections.
- 2024: Significant increase in re-import demand expected.
