The demand for sorghum in Canada is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 7.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 and reaching 9.0 thousand metric tons by 2027. In 2023, the demand stood at 6.0 thousand metric tons, indicating a consistent upward trend. The year-on-year variation shows a steady increase, with demand remaining constant between some years, suggesting a growing interest but a potentially plateauing trend starting from 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is notable for strategic planning.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential shifts in Canadian agriculture policies affecting sorghum cultivation.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards gluten-free and non-GMO grains.
- Impact of global climate change on sorghum yields.
