The US fresh squash imports are forecasted to grow from 1.39 billion pounds in 2024 to 1.54 billion pounds in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates for this period indicate a steady increase, reflecting the rising demand for fresh squash. In 2023, the volume of imports was slightly lower, suggesting a consistent upward trend. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years demonstrates a modest but steady expansion in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on domestic squash production, shifts in consumer preferences towards fresh and organic produce, and changes in trade policies that could affect international squash trade dynamics.
