The forecast for Canada's fresh plums supply indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 18.5 thousand metric tons in 2024, the supply is expected to decrease at an average rate, reaching 17.78 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared to the actual data up to 2023, this presents a consistent downward trend with a slight average annual decline. The variation percentages year-over-year reveal small decrements, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period being negative, confirming this declining trend.
- As consumer preferences shift, the demand for alternative fruits could impact supply dynamics.
- Climate change effects on agricultural productivity may further influence the production landscape.
- Trade policies and market access could alter the import-export balance, impacting local plum availability. Monitoring these factors will be essential for stakeholders.
